Balloon Car Contest

The following video is Race Day for the balloon cars that both of my grade 10 Academic classes created. Included with each of the videos is the URL of their blog that they were asked to create to document the progress of design a balloon powered car. Those that do not have a URL, unfortunately, did not keep their blogs updated. Feel free to use their ideas to help make your own balloon car go FASTER or FURTHER. Let me know what you think about the cars. My students are eager to know which balloon cars you like. Good luck.

This is so cool.:)

[Papapodcasts]

@iffatjahanful I agree, unfortunately our curriculum has changed and we no longer teach this section of the course to be able to do this activity again.

my ballon car project is duetomorrow and i was so confuse! this totally cleared stuff out! the wheels r the hard part tho!

[Papapodcasts]

@ashleytisdale101girl You're absolutely right. The wheels are what makes or breaks a balloon car. I wish you all the luck on your balloon car. You're going to do great. Let me know how it goes.

I'm doing this project for 8th grade Physical Science... This really helped, i loved the one with the (i think) red ping pong balls for wheels. I also like the very first one and the one with the smiley face balloon
