Summary: Compete to build the fastest balloon powered car and discover Newton's Third law of Motion!

In this activity students will investigate Newton's third law of motion by designing and constructing rocket-powered racing cars. Through repeated trials, they will be able to experiment with ways to redesign their cars to increase the distance traveled.The activity will culminate in a competition for the car that travels the furthest distance.
