Being a Weather Balloon

Balloon Story
By Nathan
I had just been made. I was put in a box for 9 months.Then I
heard the box opening, it was so cool.
I was smashed in that little box. I got cramps. when I got out of the box it felt good because there was fresh air and light but the light hurt my eyes for a minute. When you are in a box you are lonely and its dark in there. Being a balloon is fun, because you get to go in the sky. Finally when I was out of the box they laid me on the ground on plastic. It felt good because I had to be in that little box for a long time. I stretched out a
little bit. Those cramps went away and that felt good. I saw almost everything it was cool to see. It was burning hot in there and I was about to die in that box. Now they are filling me up with hydrogen, it is so cool and it tickled a little bit. But of course I am going up way into the sky. I am so excited to go
up so high. this is the greatest day of my life. How would you feel if you were a balloon? Now I am going up to the sky and I am getting fatter and fatter. By the time I am done I will be fatter than McDonald's and Burger King. When I burst I was just hanging on the side of the rope and the parachute went softly to the ground. That was awesome. There was string all over the place.
I was in thousands of pieces. When I burst it hurt a little. But I was ok. That was fun. I wish I could do that again. I was scared but not too scared. I am happy that I am on the ground, and sad. But that is ok.
They are taking the payload off of me and taking photos of me. They are puttuing me in the trash can. Now I am really sad to live in a trash can. Well at least I got to go up really high in the sky. Now it's all over. That's what it feels like being a balloon.

Nathans swimming Story
Article posted March 18, 2011 at 10:52 PM GMT0 • Reads 461
In the summer time my whole family loved to go swimming at the pool or at the lake when we went camping. when we went to the pool I would always hold on to the sides, never letting go, not even on with someone holding me. I was afraid that I was going to go under or drowned. And at the lake I never went deeper than my knees even though my mom or grandma said they would hold me and I had a life jacket on. While my mom worked, my sister and I were at daycare after school. The daycare us to the public pool twice a week for swimming lesson’s. I had a lot of fun and with my swim teachers and my family I learned how to swim. I ‘am so glad that I wasn’t scared to learn because it is one of the best things I like to do in the summertime.

Description: We are attaching A green balloon that is filled up a quarter of a way. A blue balloon that is filled up half of a way. A orange balloon filled up about all the way to the top of are payloads. Then we are attaching a Cheetos bag to the top of are payload.
Hypothesis:
Green balloon – I think the green balloon is not going to bop because it is the smallest balloon.
Blue balloon – I think the blue balloon is probably not going to bop then it might bop.
Orange balloon – I think the orange balloon is going to bop because it is the biggest balloon and it is about filled up all the way.
Bag of chips – I think the bag of chips might fall of or bop.
Comment what you think. Thank You
