BALLOON POWERED JET CARS- Project

            CEIP REI EN JAUME- FOIOS 2014

Our students have learned the concepts of Newton’s Law of Motion, friction, jet propulsion, and air resistance by designing and constructing a balloon powered jet car.

The purpose of the activity was to build a Balloon Jet Car that could extract the most energy out of the inflated balloon and make the vehicle travel the longest distance.

Materials

1. Water Bottles, Boxes, or other recycled material for the Chassis
2. Balloon, Vinyl Tubing, rubber band (Motor)
3. Wooden Skewers and straws (Axle)
4. Various Materials for wheels
5. Tape 

• DISTANCE TRAVELLED , IMAGINATION, CREATIVITY and TEAM WORK were the main aspects evaluated, and the results were Excellent.
