STEM Challenge of the Week: Tasty Balloon...
Dear students, parents and carers,
Here is a fun STEM Challenge for this week. Challenge family members and friends to try and not pop the balloon!! (It’s actually fun if it doesn’t work a few times!!)
Try for yourself and if you can take a time-lapse video of both the balloon popping and the balloon not popping, you may see something very interesting! Why not send the video to me and we can share it with everyone in next week’s newsletter.
If you don’t think you can do it, watch this video to see the challenge in action!
