Balloon Rockets

Today we made balloon rockets to learn about forces. We learnt that as the air is pushed out of the back of the balloon, it pushes the balloon forwards along the string.

We had so much fun!

The classroom erupted with laughter and squeals as Jack and Jordan released their balloon rocket

Ayden and Keagan working together to explore whether the balloon will travel upwards along the string.

Try this experiment at home, its really simple. All you need is 
  • a balloon
  • cellotape
  • a straw
  • string
