The Balloon Rocket

Caution!

There may be science in this....

Grace is now four; she is no longer three and a half.  To celebrate her Daddy constructed a small scientific demonstration.....

The observers trying to predict what will happen

Balloon is filled with air (co2 if you prefer)
and attached to a cardboard tube...

...which is on a sting which the grad student holds tautly.

The tube / balloon aka "rocket" is released.
Grace wisely closes her eyes as
silly Daddy failed to provide safety goggles.

Bea observes the experiment from an alternate angle

Perhaps extra string length will alter the results....

Super speed and distance travelled....RESULT!

A final attempt before Daddy expired ;)

spot the rocket.
