Expansion and Contraction Lab
 **Problem:what will happen to the balloon when you place the bottle in the hot water then in cold water.**  **Research:expand means to take up more space and contract means to take up less space.**  **Hypothesis:If i put the bottle in the warm water then the ballon will grow and if i put the bottle in the cold water then the balloon will shrink.**  **Materials: Safety goggles, Balloon,** **Plastic bottle, Warm water,** **Cold water**  **Procedure:**  1.) Stretch the opening of the balloon over the neck of the bottle. 2.)  Observe the balloon at room temperature. Record observations. 3.) Place the bottle with the ballon in the warm water for about 30 seconds. 4.) Observe the ballon again and record any changes you see in the balloon. <span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Tahoma; msolist: Ignore;">5.) Remove the bottle and ballon from the warm water and quickly place it in the cold water for about 30 seconds (or until it cools). 6.) Observe the ballon and record any changes you see in the ballon. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0ptmsoBidiFontSize;"> <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0ptmsoBidiFontSize;">**Results:** <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0ptmsoBidiFontSize;">

I said that the balloon would "grow" when the bottle was placed in warm water and shrink when the bottle was placed in cold water. My results showed the balloon filled with air and stood up when i put it in the warm water and in the cold water the balloon was droopy, which proves my hypothesis.**

 * Room Temperature || X || The balloon is flat and hanging down . ||
 * Warm || The balloon will stand up in the air. || the balloon filled up with air and it stand
 * Cold || The balloon will be flat and droopy. || the balloon was droopy and didn't stand up. ||
