Balloon Cars
In B9 we have been learning about STEAM. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. In STEAM activities we have to Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create and Improve on our design.
The project that we had to make was a Balloon Car. The materials that my group used were cardboard cups, rubber bands, bottle caps, bottles, scissors, straws and sellotape.
Our balloon car had to do the following 4 things.
1. The Car must be propelled forward by the air escaping the balloon.
2. The Car must be sturdy and not fall apart when in use.
3. The Car must travel at least 5 feet.
4. The Car must travel in approximately a straight line.
One challenge that my group faced was that the wheels would not turn. We tried solve this problem by changing the wheels. Unfortunately this did not make the car move. It was the same with the other wheels before.The only things my groups car did was number 1 and 2. Our balloon car was not a success.
