Science Fair Projects Kids Will Love To Do – Does Air Have Weight?

It is very important for kids to love doing science projects. The best way to start is to let them do some fun projects and show them how it can be turned into a science fair project. Here is one of our science fair projects kids will love to do.

Do the air and other gases have weight?

In this experiment we are going to try and show that air and carbon dioxide have weight and that it can actually be weighed! These experiments should be done under supervision from an adult.

When doing experiments, always remember to make notes for your display and also take photos of every step for your display.

The first one, that we are going to do in this article, is for air:

When you have finished your experiment, you should be able to answer the following questions:

1. What is in the balloons after you have blown them up?
2. Why is it that it is possible to balance the stick with the two balloons of the same size?
3. Do you think both balloons have the same size?
4. What happens when you prick one of the balloons?
5. What does this mean?

What you will need:

• 2 Balloons
• A stick
• Scissors
• A piece of string
• A needle
• A note book
• A pen
• A camera

How to do your experiment:

1. Blow up both balloons so that they are exactly the same size
2. Tie one to each side of the stick
3. Now hang the stick somewhere so that the balloons are balanced. Use the sting to do it with.
4. Let the air out of one of the balloons by pricking it
5. Now you can try and answer the questions above.

What is the conclusion?

At first it is very easy to balance the two balloons because they weight the same. The balloons with the air inside them have the same weight. When you prick the one balloon you are letting the air out of that balloon. Now the stick is dropping to the side with inflated balloon. This means the deflated balloon is now lighter. This again must mean that air has weight.

This is the basics for this science fair project for kids to do. Now you will need to know the correct way of doing your display. You also have to know what the correct scientific method is, you will have to be able to explain it to the judges together with your display.

A very good place to get all the information you need for this is with an e-book such as 24 Hour Science Projects. There you will get complete projects with everything you need from hypothesis to conclusion, with charts and all. 24 Hour Science Projects are instantly downloadable and you can have your project ready in a short while. Go there now and have a look.
