Atmospheric Pressure

A ballon is partially inflated and then carried up a high mountain. Will the ballon expand, shrink, or remain the same? Explain.

expand because it is filed with hot air

Nathan said...

i think that it would expand because of the air pressure.

Dale Bourque said...

I think that the balloon is going to grow, because the mountian has more air up at the peak so the air will go inside the balloon

Oja, Noah said...

The balloon will shrink because the air pressure is reduced.
The higher the balloon goes the less air pressure there is.

I think the balloon is going to shrink because there is less pressure.

it should shrink because the air pressure is getting weaker.

Mr Ruby said...

it will ramane the same because the presher around it by Lo9an D3Giacomo

The balloon that is going up the mountain is going to shrink due to the density of the atmosphere.

I think the balloon will shrink, because it's high in a mountain, where there is less air pressure.

Expand because of air pressure

Dominique F. said...

I think the ballon will shrink because the higher you go up the less pressure there is.

Sammy P said...

The balloon will shrink because there is less gravity the higher you go in the air.

If you carry a balloon up a high mountain the balloon will shrink. This is because the pressure will increase and will squeeze on the balloon forcing air out.

I think that the Balloon is going to get smaller..Cause it is going way up....

the balloon will expand because when you get in the sky the oxygen will fill up the balloon.

i think the balloon will shrink because there is more pressure.

Emily W said...

I think the balloon will shrink because there isn't very much pressure.

Sammy P said...

less gravity equals less pressure.

A balloon is partially inflated and then carried up a high mountain. Will the balloon expand, shrink, or remain the same? Explain. i think it will shrink because the pressure in the mountains isnt as high as it is farther down the mountains. HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

**the pressure is higher in the mountains***
HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS

merry Christmas to you to

Nick M. said...

Well, because the pressure in the mountains is higher then when the balloon took off, then the balloon will shrink.

Sarah(: said...

I think the ballon will shrink with no pressure

caelin w said...

the pressure is high in higher places

Lexi:) said...

I think the balloon will shrink because of the presser and there is less pressure.

Jasmine Mason said...

I think that the balloon will stay the same because the pressure will stay change outside the ballon but stay the same inside.

Jewel (: said...

the pressure is higher in the mountains

Brian B. said...

The ballon will shrink because of the air pressure and the higher you go the more it will shrink.The air pressure is high in the sky.

Thatdaviddude said...

I think the ballon will shrink with no pressure

kaylee m. :) said...

The balloon will shrink because there is less pressure.

Rhiannon J :) said...

If you partially inflated a balloon, and then carried it to the top of a mountain, the balloon will shrink.

jason p said...

the higher u r the higher the pressure is

Jewel (: said...

So it will shrink

SERENA M said...

The balloon will shrink because the air pressure is reduced.
The higher the balloon goes the less air pressure there is.

Tyla Greenlaw said...

The balloon would probably shrink after a while because of the pressure and temperature.

Camille D :) said...

i think it will shrink. yay science!

professor jacqueline said...

shrink

Sabrina:) said...

The balloon would shrink after a while because the pressure and temp.

The Air Ballon will shrink because of high you will go and oh high the pressure will be.

Alex pinkham said...

The ballon will expand because heat makes thing expand. :)

ElI G said...

The balloon will get smaller because there is dens air

Archer t said...

I think the balloon will become larger because there is less air pressure at the top of the mountain.

emile w said...

he ballon wil stay the same because the pressure in the ballon is in creased but if is not then it will shrink

Aaron R said...

the ballon will shrink because of the lower air pressure.

Kasey G. said...

The balloon will shrink because the higher you go the higher the air pressure.

matt c said...

The balloon will shrink because of the high air pressure

It will shrink because of more pressure.

Holly J said...

The balloon with shrink because there is more pressure.

Ian C. said...

The balloon will shrink because as you get higher the pressure will push the air out the top.

Mason B said...

The balloon will shrink.

Ronahn said...

The balloon will shrink, as there will be more pressure.

Lucas T said...

The balloon will shrink because the air pressure is higher.
