Click to continue! This is a teaching project all about Helium- what it is, where it comes from, what it does to your voice, and why it makes you sound weird! This also is kind of a tutorial for how to use helium to make yourself sound like a gerbil, and a quick, but fun, science demonstration using my voice! I highly recommend you have the sound on to listen to the music-like sound of my voice on helium XD. Q: Is it dangerous? A: No. Helium is a noble gas- it can't be poisonous or flammable because it doesn't react. Also, I paused in between each take to breath normal air to keep myself oxygenated. Plus, the air in a Helium balloon is mostly normal air as well, there is very little Helium in a balloon. The only danger would be if you are breathing in Helium that was very close to pure (since you wouldn't get oxygen that way), but that is not what comes in a balloon, or if you take more than one consecutive breath of helium. You really only get pure Helium for research purposes, and that is SUPER costly. Still, be careful! #ChemistryWeirdness #ItsForEducationalPurposes #TotallyNotAnExcuseToPlayWithBalloons
This is for the SDS, "micro." Not a whole lot of things (barring subatomic particles) smaller than Helium- it's the second smallest atomic element in the universe! Enjoy this project?
