Rocket Pinwheel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials to construct a balloon-powered pinwheel. The pinwheel is a great way to investigate Newton's Third Law of Motion.
The Unpoppable Balloon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore polymer structure and their ability to reform around objects by attempting to stab a wooden skewer through a balloon without popping it.
Light as Air
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.
Balloon Drive
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.
