Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Balloon-Powered Car" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. When air rushes out of the balloon, it pushes the car forward. This is Newton's Third Law: for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction!

๐Ÿงฐ Materials Needed

Plastic bottle
Balloons
Straws
Tape
Bottle caps
Wooden skewer

๐Ÿ“‹ Setup Instructions

Build a simple car body from the bottle and attach wheels.
