In this video, Ken from Kids Fun Science demonstrates an experiment to determine if air has weight. The experiment requires two balloons, paper clips, a tripod, a yardstick, string, and scissors. Ken explains how to set up the experiment by balancing the balloons on a yardstick. By observing the balloons' behavior as air is released from one, viewers learn that air does indeed have weight. The video concludes with a summary of the findings and an invitation to subscribe for more experiments.
