Science Week

13th Nov 2024
As part of Science week , we looked at Newtown’s Laws or Motion. The focus of this experiment, ‘The Balloon Race’ , was based on Newton’s Third Law of motion. This states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As the air is released out of the balloon in one direction, the force propels the balloon in the other direction. This equal but opposite force causes the balloon to fly across the string like a rocket!
