We had an amazing morning today. A lady called Pat came to school and showed us how to make balloon buggies. We had to listen really carefully to instructions first. Then we got to try them out! We were quite accurate in our investigating and our results showed that it did make a difference what materials you used, what size the wheels were and how short or long the chassis was. It also made a big difference depending on how big you blew up the balloon!!! All of these factors affected the distance the Balloon Buggies travelled. Later on we went outside and also discovered that the surface the Buggies were travelling along made a difference too. They went much slower and less far on grass than they did on the wooden gym floor.
