Inflated party balloons. A toy balloon or party balloon is a small balloon mostly used for decoration, [1] advertising and as a toy. Toy balloons are usually made of rubber or aluminized plastic and inflated with air or helium. They come in a great variety of sizes and shapes but are most commonly 10 to 30 centimetres (3.9 to 11.8 in) in diameter.
[1] [3] He cited "bonding with your baby, the intellectual stimulation, becoming more exposed to the field of child development and all the cool stuff that's going on" as reasons to read Experimenting with Babies, but wanted to avoid suggesting any benchmarks or measures of intelligence for the babies.

Balloon rockets work because the elastic balloons contract on the air within them, and so when the mouth of the balloon is opened, the gas within the balloon is expelled out, and due to Newton's third law of motion, the balloon is propelled forward. This is the same way that a rocket works.
Balloon Experiments with Amateur Radio (BEAR) is a series of Canadian-based amateur radio high-altitude balloon experiments by a group of amateur radio operators and experimenters from Sherwood Park and Edmonton, Alberta. The experiments started in the year 2000 and continued with BEAR-9 in 2012 reaching 36,010 metres (118,140 ft).
Cluster ballooning was inspired by Larry Walters's experience, although his was not the first. [1]On July 2, 1982, Larry Walters (April 19, 1949 – October 6, 1993) made a 45-minute flight in a homemade aerostat made of an ordinary lawn chair and 42 helium-filled weather balloons. [2]

Balloon skewer experiment. A pin or needle is frequently used to pop a balloon. [4] As the needle or pin creates a hole on the balloon surface, the balloon pops. However, if tape is placed on the part where the hole is created, the balloon will not pop since the tape helps reinforce the elastic tension in that area, preventing the edges of the hole pulling away from the center.
