Answer:<br />

A balloon grows bigger because <strong>of</strong> the air you blow into it. The air that you blow into the<br />

balloon pushes out on the balloon walls. You are increasing air and the air pressure<br />

inside the balloon.<br />

There is also air on the outside <strong>of</strong> the balloon pushing in. When you remove some <strong>of</strong> the<br />

outside air (that’s air inside the chamber), you have changed the pressure on the inside and<br />

outside <strong>of</strong> the balloon. It is easier for the inside air to push the balloon walls outward<br />

because there is more pressure on the inside <strong>of</strong> the balloon than there is on the outside <strong>of</strong> the<br />

balloon and the balloon expands.<br />

Decreased pressure.<br />

Increased pressure<br />
