Re: balloon animals
Soccergirl,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "do balloon animals have a science and/or physics." Science is a study of how things work around us. So yes there is a science to balloons. In fact balloons can be very interesting as they are a made of a special material that can be stretched and pulled a lot without breaking. I think you might want to ask more specifically "how balloons are made and how balloons work?" I should mention that some of the physics behind balloons can get complicated. A simple introduction to the science of balloons can be found at http://www.balloonhq.com/. Read about the science and see if it interests you.
Don't forget that when you perform an experiment you will need to consider several things: (1) what will you measure, (2) what variable will you change, (3) how will you keep everything else constant, (4) and what do you expect to happen based on the science which you have studied. This is a very exciting thing to do and I can't wait to hear about your new "twist" on balloon science!
