Let's make a balloon rocket.

Now we've seen how it works can you level up? Try testing different angles, different size balloons, different amounts of air in the balloon.

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.

We were learning about...the third Newton's law of motion.
