Episode description
We've all seen balloons float, but what makes them float? We might be able to understand why a small birthday balloon can float, but what about the big giant Thanksgiving day parade balloons? Why can those float? We also learn why we use Helium instead of Hydrogen, even though Hydrogen would be better at making balloons float. It's never too late to learn about the world around you.
This is part of our Holiday unit.
