Jet Car Project By: Peyton Pd. 2 1/19/10 For this project, we were required to build a car that was powered by a balloon. Our objective was to make it go 5 meters. After I built the car, we tried it out, and it successfully went 5 meters. Some things I had to think about when I was building the car was Newtons third law. When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force n the first that us equal in size but opposite in direction. That meant when I tapped the balloon to the back of the car, blew it up and let it go, it pushed the car forward. //**Objective**//
 * //Abstract//**
 * Build a car powered by a balloon
 * Make the car go 5 meters



Materials:



Step 1: Drill holes in each of the bottle caps Step 2: Stick one of the half straws on the skewer. Then stick bottle caps on each end of the skewer as shown below.



Step 3: Tape the wheels and skewer onto the bottom of the index card.



Step 4: Cut a little bit of the flexible straw off. Then tap the balloon to the end of the straw that isn’t flexible. After that, tape the straw and the balloon to the top of the index card.
