Event Details

Do Spacers will learn about Newton’s Third Law by making balloon rockets in this activity.

Using a balloon, we can create a good demonstration of the type of propulsion that moves a rocket. When we inflate a balloon, we fill it with a pressurized gas (air). When we let go of the end, the air rushes out and pushes against the air around the balloon to move it in the opposite direction. 

Please pick up your take & make it at Abraham's Library, 90th & Fort!
