Getting a hot air balloon ready to take a ride takes some work. First the empty balloon is spread out on the ground. Then an electric fan is pointed toward the opening of the balloon and turned on. How does the fan cause it to inflate?

• Invisible particles of the fan push against the inside of the balloon as the fan is in motion.

• The weight of the fan causes the balloon to inflate because the balloon is lighter than the fan.

• The fan pushes invisible air particles into the balloon that push against the inside of the balloon.

• The fan heats the air inside the balloon, so the balloon becomes lighter than the air inside of it.
