Balloon Rocket Experiment Guide

The document describes how to make a balloon rocket to demonstrate the principles of rocket science. It provides materials and step-by-step instructions to blow up a balloon, attach it to a drinking straw with tape, secure the straw between two fixed points, and release the balloon to watch the rocket fly due to the reaction force from expelled air according to Newton's third law of motion.

Objective

How does a rocket fly? What is the principle of Rocket Science?

Experiment with balloon rocket


Material List
1 balloon (long shape works best)
1 plastic drinking straw (cut in half)
1 paperclip
Masking tape

Procedure of the experiments

Step 1: Thread your String or Finishing Line Through the straw

Step 2: Tie each end of the string to two fixed point. It Could be two chairs or it
could be two tree.

Step 4: Tape the balloon to the straw carefully without letting any air escape.

Step 5 Once your Balloon is anchored to the straw, let the balloon go and watch
your Rocket fly.

Simple Understanding

Answer:

Rockets fly because of Newton's third law of motion. Newton's third law
states that for

Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
