Engineering Experiments

Engage your kids' curiosity with an exciting and interactive science experiment. One idea is to create a rainbow in a jar using simple household ingredients. Here's how you can do it:

Materials needed:

Empty Juice Box with 2 Juice Box Straws

Squeezy Tops (from juice boxes)

Balloon

Regular Size Straw

Playdoh

Tape

Instructions:

Take the empty juice box and remove any stickers or labels. Ensure it's clean and dry.

Attach the squeezy tops to the two juice box straws securely. These will act as the wheels of your car.

Use tape to fasten the straws to the sides of the juice box, ensuring the wheels can rotate freely.

Inflate a balloon and then release the air to deflate it partially. This will give your car some power.

Stretch the balloon's open end over the back of the juice box, making sure it's snug and secure.

Use a small piece of tape to attach a regular size straw to the front of the juice box, creating a handle or guide for your car.

Place a small amount of Playdoh inside the juice box to weigh it down slightly and stabilize your car.

Set your car on a smooth, flat surface, and when you're ready for action, release the balloon's air, and watch your balloon-powered car go!

Enjoy your DIY balloon-powered car and have fun experimenting with it.
