The Solar Air Bag - Awesome Science

We bought this nifty little toy off of Steve Spangler's website, and if you want one for yourself you can visit the following link: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/solar-bag

After rolling out the bag and tying one of the ends, you have to run around and fill the bag with air. Once it is full, tie the other end so that air can't escape and watch the power of the sun at work! The solar energy will heat up the air inside the bag causing the molecules to move around and bump into all sides of the solar bag and make it rise! This is a perfect experiment to learn about the properties of air, buoyancy and convection. It's amazing science at work!

@barbershop22 Thanks so much! We use the Azden wms-pro wireless mic system. It's a good system if you're on a budget :)

You should have used an IR thermometer (black patch, white patch, air temp)! A friend in Texas measured black flagstones at 170F while the air was 115F. A egg could not be cooked on the flagstone.
