BALLOON ROCKET EXPERIMENT

Today we did an experiment using a piece of string (stretched from the ceiling to the floor), a straw (threaded on to the string), and a balloon.  The balloon was blown up (but not tied) and taped to the straw.  Next, we counted down from 10 and at "Blast Off", the teacher let go of the balloon.  This caused the air to escape from the balloon and the straw and balloon traveled up the string to the ceiling.  This was our classroom simulation of how a rocket takes off and lifts off up into Outer Space.  Needless to say, this experiment was enjoyed by all!
