Use a squeaky balloon to teach about air pressure, vocal cords and sound waves
Description:
One of the classic fun things to do with a balloon is to “squeak” it. This easy game is the result of some interesting science – air pressure and sound at the molecular level. This is also very similar to the way we use our vocal cords to speak.

Make some noise – learn about sound with a “straw clarinet”
Description: This experiment shows how sound is created. Use this as an introduction to show how rapidly vibrating objects will create sound. In this case, we’ll use something as simple as a drinking straw.

Build a balloon-powered mini-hovercraft
Description:
A hovercraft works because of air pressure: it uses a motor to create a cushion of air. The hovercraft floats on this cushion, allowing it to move over land and water.
