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...

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

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 […]

Can your car win the race? Toy Car Balloon Racers Gather the supplies to make a few balloon racers. For each racer, you will … Continued

Students will use Design Thinking to create a balloon car. They will design and create a prototype and conduct iterative testing to design and improve the balloon car. Students will consider constraints and criteria in the engineering challenge and compare design solutions. The whole engineering process takes about four class periods.Students will love this balloon car activity.This resource includes:A slide show on the design processDetailed lesson planFollow-up pagesPhotos, tips, and…

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
