Balloon science comparing gas, liquid and solids

We were making ice the other day for once of our science projects and Jake asked how the water turns to a solid. So I was explaining to him that water freeze when it is below 32 degrees, like when  it was winter outside and we placed our Fruit ice project outside and it froze.

So that got me thinking that it would be a great time to compare liquid, gas and solids. I saw this great experiment at Fit Kids Cludhouse using balloons. Fun and easy for a preschooler to understand the difference.


We took 3 balloons and filled them up with Gas, liquid and solids. Then we compared the 3 balloons. To fill the balloon with gas see our Bottle blowing balloon experiment. Then add water to 2 balloons. 1 water balloon place in the freeze overnight, that is how you get the solid.

Then compare the 3 balloons. What Jake said about each:

Gas....light weight, floats a little when you try to throw it, hard to break on the grown unless you stomp on it.

Liquid...heavier then the gas balloon, but lighter then the solid, when you throw it up it pops and water is everywhere, easy to squeeze

Solid...hard when you try to squeeze, when you throw it breaks to pieces, the heaviest of the 3 balloons.


The kids had the best time breaking the water and ice balloons.

  12. The concept of freezing gas can be confusing since most gases do not typically freeze under normal conditions. However, some gases can undergo a phase change to a solid state at very low temperatures and high pressures. Understanding the properties of different gases and their behavior under different conditions is important to avoid safety hazards and ensure the efficient operation of gas equipment.

  17. The fascinating science of balloons offers a perfect analogy for understanding the states of matter—gases, liquids, and solids—and how they interact. In gases, like helium or air inside a balloon, particles move freely, filling up the available space. Liquids, like water, conform to their container’s shape but maintain a consistent volume, while solids, such as the balloon material itself, hold a fixed shape and volume.

    This concept is remarkably similar to the flexibility and structure we see in Enterprise Computing Software. Just as gases adapt and expand, enterprise software solutions are designed to scale and meet dynamic business needs. Like liquids, they flow seamlessly into existing processes, adapting to specific organizational structures. And akin to solids, they provide a stable foundation, ensuring reliability and efficiency for core operations. Understanding these parallels helps us appreciate both the science of balloons and the innovative nature of enterprise software!
