This week at STEM Club saw the children making balloon rockets. Working co-operatively in small groups, the children had to inflate their balloon and attach it to a drinking straw that had been fed onto a length of string tied between two chairs. As they released the end of their balloon, they whooshed across the string at a super speed! The children then had to vary the length of string and inflation of the balloon in order to see what impact this had on the performance of their balloon rockets.
