The purpose of this study was to deepen the understanding of gasses and their effects. Pressure is the rate at which particles collide with each other and any other surface. 1, 2, and 3, 20cm helium balloons were let go from 0m and timed until they reached 3m. The results from that experiment showed that the more balloons that were let go; the longer they took to reach 3m. This may have been because the aerodynamics of the balloons were not very good, and if more balloons were added the aerodynamics would be worse.
 * ABSTRACT **

**EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS**  Improvements that could be made include measuring the balloons from different angles to ensure they were consistent throughout the experiments. Another improvement could be doing my experiments in the same area to keep the outcomes more controlled. Future experiments that could be done could include tying weights to different amounts of balloons and measuring the time for the balloon to float up to 3m. Future experiments could also include spraying water on balloons and seeing if the water collects and gradually weighs balloons down.     To read the full paper open the following PDF
