You Can Pop a Balloon With an Orange

Popping Balloon With Orange - YouTube

You can pop a balloon with an orange.

Or how limonene from the orange peel dissolves or weakens the rubber balloon. Try this experiment in your classroom!

This Would Also Make a Great Science Experiment!

I remember doing something similar to this with my Kinder classes. It doesn't have to be this elaborate, but it makes a great science activity where you can get out of the classroom for a few minutes, especially if you don't have windows.

5 Minute Science Lesson - Bees

1. This is a comparison photo of the difference between the end of a needle and a bee's stinger, as seen under a microscope. What is the first thing you notice?
