    EXPERIMENT 1
    (Performance Task #1)
    Boyles on balloon!

    Materials:
    • Small balloons such as water balloons
    (2, additional 2 optional)
    • 60 mL syringe (without needle)
    Note: the syringe needs to be
    airtight.
    • Scissor
    • Tap water
    • Food color (optional)

    Procedure:
    1. Fill the syringe with water. Then fill one balloon with some of the
    water and tie its opening with a knot. Cut the neck off right above
    the knot. The balloon should still be small enough to fit into the syringe.

    2. Use the syringe to fill the second


    balloon with a little bit of air. It should be the
    same size as the water-filled balloon. Again,
    tie the balloon opening with a knot and cut
    off the remaining parts right above the knot.

    3. Put the air-filled balloon inside the syringe at the very end. Insert the plunger into the syringe
    and try to push the balloon into the tip of the syringe.

    How hard is it to push the plunger in? What happens to the air inside the syringe?

    4. Pull the plunger back again and move the balloon


    into the middle of the syringe. Then close the front
    opening (the tip) of the syringe with one finger and
    push the plunger into the syringe again.

    What do you notice? How does the balloon look or change when you push the plunger in?

    5. Release your finger from the tip of the
    syringe. Place the balloon into the tip of the
    syringe and push the plunger into the syringe
    until it touches the balloon. Then pull the plunger
    all the way back while again closing the tip of
    the syringe with your finger.

    Does the balloon shape change? How? Can you explain why?

    6. Replace the air-filled balloon inside the syringe with the water-filled balloon. Then place the
    plunger into the syringe. Close the tip of the syringe with your finger and push the plunger into
    the syringe as far as you can.

    How does the balloon change this time?

    7. Release your finger from the tip of the syringe and push the plunger all the way into the
    syringe until it touches the balloon at the tip of the syringe. Then close the tip of the syringe
    again with your finger and try to pull the plunger back as far as you can.

    What happens to the water-filled balloons? Does it behave differently than the air-filled
    balloon? If yes, how, and why?
