Balloon+Experiment

=The // BALLOON // Experiment (Newton's THIRD Law)=

What we used:


 * a BALLOON
 * a LONG piece of FISHING-LINE
 * two CHAIRS
 * a RULER
 * a STRAW
 * SELLOTAPE

1) We started off by cutting a fishing-line at 5m. 2) We took it in turns TRYING to thread a straw onto the line, then, after a while of struggling, we tied each end of the string to a chair and made sure it was pulled tight. 3) Then I blew up the balloon and held it closed, not completely closing it. 4) We attached it to the fishing-line and on the count of three, I let go of the balloon. 5) It glided along the string and we wrote down how far it got. (After a while, we realized that we needed a longer string so we cut the fishing-line at 10m) 6) We repeated this process 3 times, each time a different result.

Through this we showed Newton's Third Law, (every action has an equal and opposite reaction). The first reaction was the air coming out of the balloon, the second reaction was the balloon shooting forwards.
