Science
- The student learned about air pressure and how it can keep the balloon in the air by demonstrating how the orbit ball creates a cushion of air to hold the balloon up.
- They discovered the concept of lift and how it is created by the force of the moving air produced by the orbit ball, which keeps the balloon from falling.
- The student also explored the idea of gravity and how it contradicts the force of air created by the orbit ball, allowing the balloon to stay afloat.
For continued development, you can encourage the student to experiment with different sized balloons and observe how they interact with the orbit ball. They could also explore other objects and see how the orbit ball affects their movement in the air.
