First, I got a plastic bottle with soda, and I got a balloon. After I get my suplies I put the balloon on the plastic soda can. When you shake the soda the balloon will start filling up with gas, and will cause the balloon to fly, because the gas from the soda will go in the balloon. The gas causes the balloon to fly, because it is lighter than air.

When I tried the Balloon Brain expirement something amazing happened. It wouldn't pop. First I covered the balloon in a half an inch thick layer of napkins. Then I used about 15 cotton balls on the balloon. Then I used bubblerap. After that it was all done. When I threw it against the wall it didn't pop. Then I just kept on throwing it. I was amazed to see that I can throw it three times without poping it. Do you think you can beat that.

The balloon had popped when I had hit it against the wall three times. I tried it again with different materials like cotton bolls and bubble wrap and it didnt pop until the tenth time. That design worked a lot better.

I put a cut up egg carton onto it, and stuffed it with overflowing cotton balls. Also, I added some cardboard onto the "Brain" and that helped when I dropped it. The "brain" survived 39 drops, then broke.
