5th Grade Balloon Car

5th grade students designed and built a car powered by a balloon to go the greatest possible distance. All students persevered to build cars out of meat trays, paint sticks, cds, thread spools, and styrofoam cups, etc. One car actually went 51 feet! Another car won the creative award for a unique cat design! Students worked hard to figure out how to apply Newton's 3rd law to their cars. Check out pictures below!
