After observing the level of audible amazement during balloon burst, which was
shown frame by frame, it can be said that this was their favorite video. It was fun to
watch the students silently await the “pop” of the balloon. At this point, the 30-footdiameter
balloon spun silently against the dark backdrop of space while every pair of
eyes – students, teachers, and staff visitors – avidly stared at the screen, awaiting the
burst. When the latex loudly burst into many “fingers” (Appendix F; Image 20), most
students jumped and then laughed from being startled.
