rocket balloon blast off!


summer is in full swing around here.

today we tried out a Pinterest science project! 

it was a success.



you will need:  yarn or string, a straw, tape and a balloon.

how to:  

1.  string the yarn or string through the straw

2.  tie the string at two sturdy point across the room. (i tied it to the railing and a chair.)

3.  blow up the  balloon but do not tie it, tape the balloon to the straw. 


when you let go the air that is escaping the balloon will propel it across the yarn!

we tied the string higher on one side,  and changed direction of the balloon to see what would happen


good luck!
