The Science Behind

The Balloon Rockets

 How to make a Balloon
Material's: Rocket:
1: String 1. Tie one end of the string to a chair, door

2: Tape
knob, or other support.
2. Put the other end of the string through
3: Balloon the straw.
3. Pull the string tight and tie it to another
4: Straw support in the room.
4. Blow up the balloon (but don't tie it.) ...
5: Someone's 5. Let go and watch the rocket fly!

It doesn't just work with a straw you can also
make a balloon powered car, a balloon
powered boat and a balloon powered paper
aero plane. You can think of anything just
make sure it WORKS!

 Why Does This Happen?
You blow up the balloon, you are filling the balloon with
gas particles (mainly oxygen) According to Newton's Third
Law of Motion, as the gas is released from the balloon and
pushes against the outside air, the outside air pushes back.
As a result, the rocket is propelled forward by the opposing
force. The air trapped inside the balloon pushes out the
open end, causing the balloon to move forward. The force of
the air escaping is the "action"; the movement of the
balloon forward is the "reaction" predicted by Newton's
Third Law of Motion.
 ROCKETS
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." A balloon provides
a simple example of how a rocket engine works. The air trapped inside the
balloon pushes out the open end, causing the balloon to move forward. The
rockets you see that go to space use these exact mechanics. As the rocket's
fuel burns, it gives off hot gas that shoots out from an opening at the back of
the chamber. The force of the gas moving backward pushes the rocket
forward. The exhaust pushes the rocket, too. The rocket pushes the exhaust
backward. The exhaust makes the rocket move forward.
