In "Emily's Science Lab: Growing And Shrinking Balloon Experiment," Emily Calandrelli, an MIT engineer and host of "Emily’s Wonder Lab," viewers will learn how to make a balloon inflate and deflate without touching it, through the principles of thermal expansion. This experiment introduces key concepts such as closed systems and air molecule behavior as it responds to temperature changes. It aligns with U.S. curricular standards focused on physical sciences, particularly thermodynamics and states of matter. Engage in hands-on learning by observing how warm air expands, causing the balloon to grow, and how cool air contracts, making it shrink. The episode is based on Emily's book series "Stay Curious and Keep Exploring," making it a rich educational resource for exploring physics and critical thinking. Part of the "Emily's Science Lab" series.
