Magnifying Glass + Sun = Exploding Balloon Inside Balloon

Magnifying Glass + Sun = Exploding Balloon Inside Balloon Pop balloon inside a balloon (Solar BANG!) Made for parents and teachers Hey, welcome back to Kids Fun Science! Today, we're doing one of our favorite **science experiments** – the pop a balloon inside a balloon challenge. This fun **sunlight experiment** demonstrates the power of focused **solar energy**, making it perfect for **science for kids** and an exciting addition to your list of **easy experiments** to try at home. Watch as we use simple items to create a surprising reaction!

The power of the sun. Don’t blink or your going to miss this one. Why does the inside black balloon pop before the outside clear balloon pop when using a magnifying glass? The clear balloon has most of the light pass through it like a window, but the black balloon surface that doesn't reflect any light… it absorbs almost all of it. With a surface absorbing all of that light, it also absorbs the energy. In this case, that energy is heat, and a lot of it. The heat absorbed by the black balloon from the focused sunlight quickly causes the bonds of the balloon to weaken until it can no longer contain the air on the inside. The pressure from the air is just too much as it explodes, releasing the air into the clear balloon. You can not use white balloon as you need to use a clear mylar balloon. Be care using a magnifying glass as you can be burnt. Adult Supervision required Trouble shooting Do not make your black balloon to small. Clear balloon should be just a little bigger then the black balloon Magnifying glass needs to have its light hit the clear balloon with a bright small dot. Must hold balloon and magnifying glass still. Recommend to hold clear balloon by the knot. Make sure the light from the magnifying glass is not aimed at the know part of the balloon. Should be in middle of black balloon. I use a 12 inch (30.4 cm) clear balloon 9 inch (22.8 cm) black balloon Magnifying glass was just a normal one.
