Experiment #3: Law of Action-Reaction
Objective:
Balloon and Rockets
At the end of this activity, students will be able to understand the third law of
motion by assimilating the action of a balloon to a rocket.
Materials Needed:
Balloons
5 m. string
Tape
Straw
Procedure:
1. Insert one end of the string through the straw.
2. Tie the string to stationary (still) objects on opposite sides of the room. Make
sure to stretch the string tight.
3. Blow up the balloon and hold it tight. Air should not escape but don’t tie it.
4. Ask someone hold the balloon under the straw and tape the balloon to the
straw in two places.
5. Let go of the balloon and observe as it propel like a rocket.
Q1. What happens when you let go of the balloon?
Q2: What are the forces acting on the balloon?
Q3: Identify the action and reaction acting on the balloon. In you activity
notebook, draw the activity and use arrow representing action and reaction (5
points).
