TTS Balloon Buggy Class Kit

A STEM kit for 60 pupils to make, test, and improve balloon buggies using various skills.

Overview

  • This balloon making kit helps children understand forces and motion through hands-on activities. They will mark and cut a base, attach straws as bearings, fit axles and wheels, and attach a hose and balloon. When the balloon is inflated, the buggy zooms across the room, demonstrating air power..

  • Children can add passengers, decorate their buggies, and optimise performance by reducing friction. They can also calculate and compare the average speed of their buggies.

  • The kit includes a lesson plan, PowerPoint, pupil worksheet, and a blog. Created by mechanical engineer Caroline Alliston, it supports classroom science experiments and STEM challenges for up to 60 children.

Supports the National Curriculum

Science, Year 5, Forces

Identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces.
