Description

Interacting with energy - Investigate ways of improving how far the balloon rocket can travel.

Resources

Balloon (Round ones will work, but the longer “airship” balloons work best) (Try both)
1 Long piece of kite string (about 10-15 feet long)
1 Plastic Straw
Tape

Instructions

1. Tie one end of the string to a chair, door knob, or other support.

2. Put the other end of the string through the straw.

3. Pull the string tight and tie it to another support in the room.

4. 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.

5. You’re ready for launch.

6. Let go and watch the rocket fly!
