Scientific Explanation Round 2
Scientific Question We Investigated: Does air have mass
Air has mass. I know that because we tested with balloons. First, we weighed a balloon that was not blown up in ounces. It was 2 ounces. Then we blew up the balloon with air. That weighed 2.7 ounces, which is 0.7 more oz.
Air helps keep things in the air. But sometimes it makes the object fall. Like when we filled up the balloon with air it started sinking. That meant that it was getting really heavy, which proves that air is matter and matter has mass. Another example is clouds, they weight about 1 million oz and air keeps them up in the sky than on the ground, that proves that air has matter.
