This Java simulation allows students to choose from a helium balloon, a hot air balloon, or a rigid sphere to explore the behavior of different gases in different containers. You can adjust volume, pressure, or temperature to see how each variable affects floating or sinking. Registered users have access to teaching tips and teacher-created lessons that incorporate the simulation.
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.
