| BIBLE TRUTH Through God all things are possible! | WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. |
HANDS-ON EXPERIMENT
Pop a Balloon Inside a Balloon
INGREDIENTS
- Magnifying Glass
- Black Balloon
- Clear Balloon
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Push the black balloon inside the clear balloon. Inflate the black balloon. Tie the black balloon.
STEP 2: Inflate the clear balloon, so the black balloon can move freely inside the clear balloon. Tie the clear balloon.
STEP 3: Using the magnifying glass, focus a beam of light, from the sun, through the clear balloon, to the black balloon, and observe. Describe what happens when you place the balloons in the path of the beam of sunlight. Provide evidence energy was transferred to the black balloon by the beam of sunlight.
EXPLANATION
The black balloon quickly pops, while the transparent balloon stays inflated. The magnifying glass allows you to concentrate a beam of sunlight through the transparent balloon to one spot on the opaque or black balloon, which eventually weakens the rubber, causing the balloon to pop. The black balloon absorbs the beam of sunlight causing the balloon to heat up, weaken, and pop.
BIBLE CONNECTION
God is more powerful than a magnifying glass and when we absorb his power, just like the black balloon absorbs the energy from the sun, anything is possible.
