Mini-Project

This week in chemistry my mini project was sticking a toothpick into a balloon with having the balloon pop.

The trick was to:

• Use the very pointy side of a very pointy toothpick.
• Then spread a lot of lubricant on the balloon's center and the toothpick.
• The lubricant is spread on the balloon's center top because it is the thickness.
• Then proceed to then sick the toothpick in the subjected area.

This experiment was great and very fun to do. A mini project I wont forget.

Science: I was able to stick a toothpick in a balloon without having the balloon pop because of air pressure. Air density builds to whatever level balances the force of gravity, because at this point gravity isn't strong enough to pull down a greater number of particles.
