An article about how much fun it is to make a hot air balloon with a couple of teenagers.

This process is so much fun and these kids have such an enthusiasm for learning.

@JoshuaACNewman I remember making those in high school. Mr. Wizard showed how to make them in one of his shows. He used bits of canned sterno instead of a candle.

@mvilain We’re going to try cotton balls soaked in alcohol tomorrow. Acetone might burn hotter, but it will also melt the envelope.
