Weather Balloon

Today we went up to the airport to watch the weather balloon be released. They let a weather balloon go 3 times a day.
The balloon is filled with hydrogen. Hydrogen is a very dangerous gas and it can explode. so it is filled up inside a metal hut. They put a tracker on the bottom of the balloon and that sends signals to the radar.

Helium Balloons

Today we went to the florist and Melissa filled up 6 helium balloons for us. We took them back to school and talked about them and then let them go. On Friday we are going to go and watch the weather balloon be released up at Hokitika airport. What do you know about helium gas?
