This document describes an experiment using a balloon, candle, and water to demonstrate how water absorbs heat. The process involves filling an inflated balloon with water and holding it over a lit candle flame. The flame does not pop the balloon because the water inside absorbs most of the heat from the flame, preventing the rubber from getting hot enough to break.

1. Materials:
•a balloon
•a candle
•water
Process
•Fill a balloon with water
and then blow to inflating
it. Light the candle and
hold the balloon over the
flame. The flame does not
pop this balloon.

2. Explanation
• Most of the heat from the
flame was absorbed by the
water that it needs a lot of
heat to change its
temperature.
• Therefore, the rubber doesn't
get very hot and doesn't
break.
