We had our first family science day in the park on Saturday. It was so much fun. We had lots of friends show up and make balloon race cars...

Overview: Over the next few weeks you and a team of scientists will work together to investigate..build...construct and compete in a variety of scientifically driven challenges... Step 1: Choose...

Ready? Set. GO! Blast off with this EASY balloon rocket experiment! Learn simply physics with a fun summer science activity for kids.

Make and test a balloon powered car. Remember to keep it as light as possible so it moves faster! Fun STEM Challenge for kids

Static electricity is the result of a build-up of electric charge in an object. When a balloon is rubbed on a piece of wool or your hair, it picks up electrons and becomes negatively charged. In this experiment, we make the paper move by attracting it to the charged balloon. This is a fun experiment because kids LOVE to see how much of their hair they can stand up using the balloon! #STEM #homeschool #science #preschool

Balloon rocket racers! (Laws of Motion) my boys would love this!

Build and race balloon-powered cars in this fun physics and engineering lesson plan.

Balloon Powered Race Car Project OBJECTIVES to create a balloon powered race car for maximum speed between 0 and 3 meters to incorporate Newton’s Laws of Motion Part 1 (20 points) Newton’s th…

In this activity , students will make a car powered by the elastic energy of a balloon. This car converts potential energy into kinetic energy, unlike your family car which converts chemical energy into kinetic energy Balloons are elastic and store potential energy when they are filled with air. When the air is released, the potential […]
