Balloon Car Project The balloon powered car project: For this assignment we dealt with a car powered only by the force of a balloon pushing the air out to make the car move. We show all the steps of how to make the car, along with graphs and data of the results of our car.

Balloon Powered Car. Designed by Make It Fun Crafts Instructions. Print the templates and enlarge to size needed. Glue the bottom supports to the back end of the car with the front tip of the spoiler glued to the back of the car top as shown. Use toothpicks for added support. A maximum of two balloons can be used on the car, but a total of four balloons are provided to help with preliminary testing of the car. ----- Announcing the First Annual JPL Section 352 Balloon Car Contest How far do you think a car powered by two balloons could travel? Balloon Powered Race Cars. Introduction: In this project we will learn about friction, jet propulsion, and air resistance by designing and constructing a balloon powered rocket car. Balloon powered cars work by applying Newton's Third Law of Motion. You can make a fun and educational balloon-powered vehicle for a school science project, or make a bunch of cars for races at a birthday party. Instructions Step 1: Make the body and wheels Use your ruler and marker to draw a 3-inch-by-7.5-inch-rectangle on the Styrofoam and cut it out with the scissors. Weigh each car and reward cars that are lighter weight. Measure how much additional weight the cars can carry a certain distance (like pennies). Build balloon-powered rockets instead of cars in the Two-Stage Balloon Rocket Lesson Plan. These projects can also be used to teach about Newton's laws of motion in addition to kinetic and potential Teacher Information Rocket Car Objectives: • To construct a rocket propelled vehicle. • To experiment with ways of increasing the distance the rocket car travels. Description: Students construct a balloon-powered rocket car from a styrofoam tray, pins, tape, an
