climate graph


independent variables- the temperature of the three different conditions

dependent variable- time it takes for the balloon to deflate

controlled variable- how much air is going to be pumped into the balloon


My SRP is on the deflation of balloons

Aim: to observe the rate of deflation of different materials of balloons under different circumstances

Hypothesis: the higher the temperature the faster the balloon deflates.

Method:

1. Buy 3 already inflated foil balloon

2. Inflate 3 latex balloon to the same size as the foil balloons

3. Place a foil balloon in the fridge

4. Start the timer

5. Place a foil balloon in the backyard

6. Start the timer

7. Place a foil balloon in a room(at room temperature)

8. Start the timer

9. Repeat steps 3 to 8, but with a latex balloon

10. Record results of time taken for the balloons to deflate

11. Repeat the above 10 steps 3 times
