Rocket Balloon
They whine and buzz while flying through the air and at the same time Rocket Balloons
teach kids a science lesson they won’t forget.   

Ingredients
Rocket Balloon
Hand Pump

Instructions
STEP 1: Using the hand pump inflate the Rocket Balloon.
STEP 2: Hold the end of the Rocket Balloon so the air does not escape from the Rocket Balloon.   
STEP 3: Pointing the Rocket Balloon away from your face and others release the Rocket
Balloon.  

Explanation
The air rushing out of the balloon forces the Rocket Balloon through the air.  This
experiment is perfect for teaching Newton’s Laws of Motion.

Newton’s First Law of Motion – Newton’s First Law of Motion states that the
velocity of an object can be changed only if an unbalanced force is applied to it.
Newton’s First Second Law of Motion – Newton’s Second Law of Motion states
that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass, and the greater the
mass of an object, the greater the force needed to accelerate it.  
Newton’s Third Law of Motion – Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for
every  action there is a reaction equal in strength and opposite in direction.
