Explains why a balloon bulges on one end when you pinch the other end?

The first part of the explanation is understanding why a balloon changes when you put air into it. Before you blow up a balloon, you can see that the volume is small and that the balloon is elastic. As you put more air into the balloon you are increasing the pressure. The air is packed in tight, so it attempts to push out and escape, so the balloon's surface stretches until a balance is reached. The tension of the balloon's surface combined with the outside atmosphere's pressure matches the internal pressure of the air. This equilibrium is always held. If you increase the pressure (putting more air into the balloon) the balloon's surface gives just enough so that you equilibrium is reached again.
It is this maintaining of equilibrium that answers your question. If you try and decrease the volume in one area of the balloon, the air is going to push out another area of the balloon to make up for the lost volume. The volume is always maintained and the pressure remains constant.

How do you inflate a balloon underwater?
When you inflate a balloon, even on land, you pinch the mouth of the balloon shut to stop air escaping once you have run out of air. You can do the same thing underwater. Take a breath, dive under, and blow into the balloon, and pinch it when you run out of air. You could also use a snorkel, but you will need to make sure you leave enough air in your lungs to blow water out of the snorkel.

What are balloon rockets made out of?
1 balloon (round ones will work, but the longer "airship" balloons work best)1 long piece of kite string (about 10-15 feet long)1 plastic strawtapeTie one end of the string to a chair, door knob, or other support.Put the other end of the string through the straw.Pull the string tight and tie it to another support in the room.Blow up the balloon (but don't tie it.) Pinch the end of the balloon and tape the balloon to the straw as shown above. You're ready for launch.Let go and watch the rocket fly!.So how does it work? It's all about the air...and thrust. As the air rushes out of the balloon, it creates a forward motion called THRUST. Thrust is a pushing force created by energy. In the balloon experiment, our thrust comes from the energy of the balloon forcing the air out. Different sizes and shapes of balloon will create more or less thrust. In a real rocket, thrust is created by the force of burning rocket fuel as it blasts from the rockets engine - as the engines blast down, the rocket goes up!
