A third important use is sealing food jars. What do we do when our jars don't have lids but our kids' favorite snacks aren't finished yet? Just blow up a balloon, press it gently against the open jar, and deflate it while pressing. After the air in the balloon is released, the jar will be sealed by the balloon, which will isolate oxygen and is more conducive to food preservation. of preservation.

A fourth fantastic use is for yeast that blows up balloons. We can pour half a cup of hot water into two glass bottles and add 2 spoons of sugar. Then pour a packet of yeast powder into one of the bottles, and add no yeast powder to the other bottle as a control experiment. Place a balloon at the mouth of each bottle and watch the balloon on the bottle where the yeast powder is added continue to expand. This is also the scientific principle of making steamed buns and bread.

The fifth wonderful use of baking soda is to blow up balloons. Put the baking soda powder into the balloon and fill the bottle half full with white vinegar. Slowly place the balloon nozzle over the mouth of the bottle, being careful not to let the powder fall into the bottle. After sealing the bottle, lift the balloon and pour all the baking soda powder into the bottle. You can see the balloon gradually getting bigger. We could even try blowing up balloons with Coke.

The sixth wonderful use is the balloon rocket. Inflate the balloon, then pinch the mouth of the balloon or tie a slipknot. Then cut a small section of straw and tape the long straw rope to the balloon. Place two chairs opposite each other and tie a long rope to the top of the chair backs. Finally, release the mouth of the balloon to launch the balloon.

The seventh wonderful feature is the heart pump. Fill the glass jar halfway with water and add a few drops of red coloring.

The eighth wonderful use is to hatch dinosaur eggs. Put the little dinosaur into the balloon, fill it with water and tie a knot. Place the water balloon in the freezer overnight, then remove and cut the balloon to get frozen dinosaur eggs.

The ninth magical function is a good helper for growing flowers. When the vase is too deep and the flower stems are short, we can put a balloon at the mouth of the vase to shorten the depth of the vase. Then pour water into the balloon and insert the flower stem into the balloon, which is not only beautiful but also saves water.

The tenth wonderful use is the balloon rubber band. Since balloons are essentially elastic rubber, we can cut the balloons into rubber strips and use them as disposable rubber bands.

The eleventh magical feature is the indestructible balloon. Simply add a little water to the balloon, light the candle, and slowly place the water-filled balloon over the candle. We would be surprised to find that the balloon did not explode! This is because the water absorbs the heat energy of the fire, preventing the balloon's rubber from bursting. However, if the heat energy exceeds the absorption capacity of the water in the balloon, the balloon will still explode.
