How does it work?

The use of a hair dryer helps ensure that the Hot Air Balloon will inflate and launch successfully and safely. You can even launch your balloon outside in the city if you keep it tethered!

What does it teach?

The Hot Air Balloon is a great way to teach kids about the properties of air, density, and gravity. When the air molecules inside the balloon are heated, they absorb the heat energy, become excited and move faster, colliding with each other and with the sides of the balloon with greater force. This causes the air inside to become less dense than the air outside the balloon, and the balloon rises.
