Balloon Experiment

For the last week my group and I have been studying rockets. Today for lesson 4 we had to do a balloon experiment. For this experiment We had to make a copy of a spreadsheet to record the data on. We had 3 balloon's which were pink, blue and orange. We would test each balloon 3 times. First we had to put a 7 meter fishing line going through a straw. The 7 meter fishing line went from one wall to another. After that we had to attache our first blown up balloon which was the pink balloon shaped like a circle to the straw. Then we would let go of the tip of the balloon and it would go flying forward. We would do the same thing for every balloon. The Orange Balloon was shaped differently from the blue and pink balloon. We would measure how far the balloon went and record the meters on the spreadsheet. Once we were finished we had to add up the meters in all 3 columns. After that we turned the data into a bar graph. This graph shows you that the pink balloon got further than the orange and blue balloon. The blue balloon went further then the orange balloon by 2.5 meters. The Pink balloon went for the longest amount of time and the orange balloon went for a smaller amount of time. This study has used newton's third law to collect accurate information.
