This fun experiment can be tried out in any school. All you will need is 4 good quality balloons, a wooden plank and some bricks. Inflate 4 balloons with almost the same amount of air and then tie their mouths together. Then place them on a smooth floor. Take a wooden plank with foam stuck on one side. Place the foam surface on the balloons so that no sharp point pricks them. Now test the load bearing capacity of this bench by placing bricks on top. Each brick is around 2-Kgs. You will easily be able to slowly balance several bricks on top of the balloon bench. In the end place a 10-Kg cement block on top. As a matter a fact the balloon bench is strong enough to take the weight of a 40-Kg child sitting on it!
