Ready to launch your very own rocket? 3...2...1... Lift off! Get ready for a science experiment that’s not only super fun but also teaches you how real rockets work! With just a few household items, you can create a balloon rocket that zooms across the room, powered by nothing but air. The best part? You’ll learn about an important science concept—Newton’s Third Law of Motion—while having a blast! Grab your supplies, follow the steps below, and watch your balloon take off again and again. You can even experiment with different balloon shapes and sizes to see which one flies the fastest! What You’ll Need for Your Rocket: - 1 Balloon (any shape you want—try different ones to see what happens!) - 1 Drink Straw - String (about 6-8 feet long) - Tape - Two sturdy objects (like chairs) to tie the string between Let’s Launch! 1.
