Hello mate!!
Answer:
Mass, volume, internal pressure, and bounciness
Explanation:
This actually wouldn't be the worst experiment to illustrate the properties of gases, in particular that gases are massive particles (i.e. particles that have mass not big particles). Take a flat basketball, measure its mass on a suitable scale, and then measure the mass when it has been properly inflated. I have not done the math (and at the moment I have not got the basketball), but I am willing to bet that there would be a measurable difference. If you do the experiment, you should post the results here.
