3.  Read aloud the story,  Stop when you get to the vocabulary words "distance", "duration", and "record".  Have the students use context clues (see Strategy Lesson) to define the words.

4.  Identify Who, What, When, Where, Why and How for the story.  Use a picture of a hand to help the students remember 5W and H. - Technology Integration idea- use Popplet for organizing lesson

5.  Go back to types of Balloons-Classify Balloons - "Those that Float" and "Those that don't Float" (if using Popplet- move around on page- if using printed pictures place under headings)

6.  Ask kids if they can think of any other way to inflate a balloon.    Show them Pop Rocks Candy, a soda.  Ask them if they think these items would inflate the balloon. Discuss the procedure. (fill balloon with Pop Rocks, put over the soda bottle, allow the candy to drop into the soda and watch the balloon inflate. (if you can't find Pop Rocks inflate balloon using baking soda and vinegar.)
