Water Balloon Physics Force And Motion Science Experiment
In this fun and easy science experiment, we’re going to explore and investigate force and motion by tossing water balloons.
Materials:
- Water filled balloons
- Friend
Instructions:
- Stand facing each other from a few feet away and toss the water filled balloon to your friend.
- Once your friend catches the balloon, take one step backwards.
- As you get further away from one another, take note of how you have to give with your hands to keep the water balloon from bursting.
- Observe what causes the water balloon to eventually burst.

How it Works:
When you lift the balloon to toss it, you give it potential energy. This potential energy become kinetic energy once the balloon is tossed. Eventually the kinetic energy can not be contained by the balloon and the balloon will pop.
Make This A Science Project:
Try different sized balloons. Try different temperatures of water in the balloons.
