How Do Rockets Fly?

How Do Rockets Fly? - Controlled Propulsion Experiment - Balloon Equipment Needed

Drinking Straw String Long Balloon Transparent Tape Clothespin

1. Thread the string through the straw. 2. Tie the string between two tree. 3. Blow up your balloon. Seal the mouth of the baloon with the clothespin. (Note: It may help to fold the neck of the baloon once or twice before applying the clothespin.)

4. Tape the baloon lengthwise along the straw. 5. Remove the clothespin and release your balloon. As you watch your balloon rocket fly along the string, you are observing Newton's Third Law of Motion; "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The air escaping the ballon is the action and the balloon traveling along the tring is the reaction. Try some variations

Raise the opposite end of the string. What affect does this have on your balloon's flight? Why? Add a second straw and ballon to the string, facing the opposite direction. Tape an additional short length of string (about 2 feet) between the balloons. Do the two balloon rockets move in one direction or the other? Why?

Place the pan on a hard surface (Like the ground). 4. Standing above the pan, drop your round objects into the mixture from different heights. 5. Carefully remove each one. 6.
