An excellent resource for educators is hosted by a balloon ride company in Australia. Titled Stuff for Schools, this web publication includes a page on the history of ballooning in Australia, another on how balloons fly and some interesting facts on balloons not found elsewhere.

While we offer a wealth of information here on our site through such pages as the Balloon Fiesta Memoirs, Ballooning History, Ballooning Museums, and Ballooning Publications, you can enhance your learning further right now by completing the Building a Hot Air Tissue Paper Balloon activity.
