Potential and Kinetic Energy Science Activity

How does a marshmallow shooter work? If you stretch a rubber band, it will have elastic potential energy. As you let it go, that potential energy will transfer into kinetic energy, the energy of motion. In our shooter, the balloon is acting like a rubber band. When you pull the knot on the balloon backward, it creates potential energy, which then transfers to kinetic energy as you let it go, sending the mini marshmallow flying!
