Description
Race into learning with balloon-powered cars with educators from LeMay - America's Car Museum! Discover Newton’s Third Law as air pushes out and propels your car forward, and experiment with friction and aerodynamics to fine-tune your speed. Explore kinetic and potential energy as you inflate the balloon, then watch stored energy transform into motion! Hands-on physics has never been this fun—ready, set, inflate!
