About the Weather balloon, large round balloon with a small boxy instrument package hanging on a string below

A weather balloon is a big rubbery balloon that carries a small instrument box high into the sky. As it rises, that box, called a radiosonde, measures the air's temperature, moisture, and how hard the wind is blowing. The higher it climbs, the more the balloon stretches, until it finally pops far above the clouds. Trace the string from the balloon down to its little instrument box on this science-day printable.

  • The little box hanging under a weather balloon is called a radiosonde.
  • Weather balloons are made of latex and swell bigger and bigger as they rise.
