Hands-On Wednesday: Racing Leprechaun

STEM Hands On

Racing Leprechaun

Do you have some green leftover from St. Patrick’s Day? Keep the celebration going by creating your own Leprechaun Balloon Rocket! The air pressure inside the balloon will push the balloon forward when you release the tip. Test to see which rocket will fly faster, the one filled with more air or less air? Be careful not to pop the balloon by filling it with too much air. Use balloons of different shapes and sizes and race your friends to see who can reach the pot of gold first!
