Pop! What a fun lab! I must admit, reading about the balloon lab in the chapter was more exciting than do it in class. I wish we would have done the lab in class before I read about it. I wish I could have actually participated in the lab without knowing what would happen. The lab had no anticipation for me because I know exactly why the balloon did not pop. It was difficult for me to pretend to be a student after knowing the ending result. I can't wait to use this activity in my own classroom! The students will love the use of the colorful balloons and I know they will be intrigued by the mysterious blue liquid. I can't wait to encourage them to use inquiry methods to design there own experiments to test their ideas. I want my class to be buzzing with discussions about results and explanations.
