This Java simulation enables you to experiment with a balloon filled with different gases inside a container that can hold two different gases at various pressures. You can discover what variables are important in floating and sinking. This is part of a larger collection developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET).
Note: As of 2020, the PhET Project has partnered with Leaning Technologies to allow Java sims to run in a PC browser via CheerpJ. May currently be difficult to run on iPads. Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in.
