The Experiment

In the Morning Room, Six Literacy had an experiment, outside Room, 6, 7 and 8 out on the porsche. We made a balloon shuttle in groups of three, to see how fast our balloon would go.

In my team were Brooklyn and Shania. The first step was to get a chair and take it outside then, Mrs. Sio gave us a black packet. Inside the packet was a long thin piece of white string, a red balloon, a straw cute into a small piece, and we had a piece of tape. We also needed to time how long it would take for the balloon to reach the end. Brooklyn’s job was blowing up the balloon, Shania’s job was timing how long it would take for the balloon to reach the end, and my job was tying the string to the chair. The first step was to tie the string to the chair, the second step was to blow up the balloon. The third step was to put the string inside the straw, then when Brooklyn finished blowing up the balloon we made a big mistake. We tied the balloon to the string and couldn't get it off. So we had to cut the string to get the balloon off and we had to start all over again. The fourth step was to put tape on the balloon and straw to hold it together. 

Then last but not least let go of the balloon, but before you let go make sure you time it. Our time was 5.67 seconds, we-we're so happy it worked even though it didn’t work the first time.
