While studying Newton’s three laws of motion, students in Miss Feldkamp’s 8th grade science class designed and constructed balloon powered cars. Students were given a variety of supplies including tape, glue, cardboard, straws, popsicle sticks, wooden skewers, CD’s, etc. The objective was to build a balloon powered car for maximum speed and distance. Students did an excellent job and the results were impressive! One car traveled over 9 meters!
