You could easily do this balloon rocket experiment outside or inside like we did. It is relatively easy, and inexpensive.

What you need: – balloons – plastic straws – string such as twine or yarn – tape such as painter tape or masking tape

Follow the instructions on Forgetful Momma to set up your experiment.

You could easily test out different lengths to add to your experiment. Learn more

With the end of the balloon face the opposite way you want your balloon to fly. Let go!
