Balloon Rocket

We were learning to make a balloon rocket to fly down a piece of string.

I found it easy to tape the balloon onto the string fly to the other person.

I found it hard to hold the end of the string because it keeps on slipping out of my hand.

Next time I will try doing it with a different type of balloon or I could do a different type of string.

How it works, our rocket blast balloon demonstrates Newton’s Third Law of Motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When we release the balloon, the pressurized air in the balloon pushes against the air around the balloon sending it in the opposite direction down the string.
