METHOD! (3)

Sorry... I've decided to modify the end of my method a little.

Method
  1. Obtain four balloons of equal size, shape and colour.
  2. Inflate all balloons to approximately the same size (diameter of 40 cm). Use a measuring tape to ensure the diameter is approximately 40 cm for each balloon.
  3. Place the first balloon in the refrigerator at 0°C and leave it for three hours. Make sure the refrigerator door remains shut for all three hours, to restrict the amount of warm air flowing inside.
  4. Place the second balloon in a heated room at 25°C for three hours. Ensure that all doors and windows are shut at all times, to control the amount of cool air flowing inside the room.
  5. Tie the third balloon to a fan and leave the fan on for three hours.
  6. Place the fourth balloon in a bucket, with a constant stream of water above it, and leave this for three hours also.
  7. Retrieve all the balloons from their respective places after three hours, and observe any changes i.e. difference in size, shape, rate of deflation.
  8. Record all observations.
  9. Repeat steps 1-8.
  10. Obtain a white balloon and a black balloon.
  11. Place both balloons under direct sunlight for ten hours. Ensure that they, as much as possible, stay in the sun, and do not become shaded.
  12. Collect both balloons after ten hours and observe any changes i.e. size and shape.
  13. Record all observations.
  14. Repeat steps 10-13.

  1. Are you aware that your method is in Greek? It usually just means that your computer doesn't have the character set that you need to display the font- can you please make sure you check this before posting? I don't like having to use word to translate something that should be so easy to mark and read.

    Also, for more information about balloons, perhaps don't look at information about balloons directly, but look at information about plastics?
