- a balloon
- an empty bottle
- a basin with hot water (be careful!)
- Stretch the balloon's mouth and fit it to the bottle's mouth
- Hold the bottle for a minute or two in the hot water. Be careful!

- Now pour a lot of cold water on the bottle then your balloon will be like in the first picture again.
We want to prove that gas can expand when it's hotter / warmer and it will be contracts when it's colder / cooler. It's called expansion and contraction.
