We are learning about solids, liquids, and gases.
Did you know that you can measure a gas, such as helium?
If you ever need helium to inflate balloons for a party, one option is to rent a tank of helium to fill them yourself. They sell tanks of gas by volume. Volume is similar to liquid capacity (when we used ounces, cups, quarts, gallons, and later liters and milliliters). The chart below shows you how big the tank is you will need, depending on how many balloons you want to fill. The size of the balloons matters too!

The gauge on the helium tank will show "zero" when there is no helium left.
