From Mrs. Thompson:
"After finishing our simple machines and kinetic and potential energy unit, we built balloon powered cars. This was a tough task for the students, and it really tested their patience, independence, and team building skills. AND they did fabulous! Every single one of their cars worked! They may not have gone as far as they wanted them to, but they worked! They got to show their creativity with the supplies they chose to use, and we had several groups helping other groups!
