Temperature and the Density of Air

Here is a hands-on activity in which junior scientists put air into a balloon to create a closed system. They measure its circumference, warm it in hot water, and then remeasure its circumference to discover how temperature affects the density of air inside. An elementary data table and two analysis questions are included. Have your early physical science learners perform this experiment when they learn about the behavior of gases.
