Start your (balloon) engines! Learn how you can power a toy car with air and a little knowledge of physics.
Little Academy – Task 5:
Build A Balloon Powered Car
Children are natural engineers. They love to design and build with almost anything they can get their hands on. Now (home) school is out for summer here is a fun filled task to keep them busy over the summer break. Follow the step by step guide to build a balloon-powered car from recycled materials in this fun activity and watch it go!
In this activity your little recruits will learn some physics concepts and use recycled materials to build a toy car that is powered by a balloon. They can even grab a friend, build two cars, and race them against each other! Whose car will go the fastest?
