Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with balloons and see if I could figure out how thick they are. Sounds kinda random, I know, but I was curious!
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a bunch of regular party balloons – you know, the kind you blow up for birthdays. I made sure to get a few different colors, just in case that made any difference (spoiler: it didn’t seem to).
The Experiment (aka My Messy Process)
- I blew up one of the balloons to a normal size. Not too big, not too small.
- Then, the tricky part: I tried to measure the thickness. This was WAY harder than I thought!
- My first try,I use the ruler, it can not work.
- I popped the balloon (accidentally, of course) and tried to measure the stretched-out rubber.
- And Use the scissors to cut the balloons.
The Result
After all that, what did I find out? Well, I can use the vernier caliper to measure *’s very *,different qulity of balloons,the thickness also not * I did it!
