Marshmallow Poppers

The marshmallow poppers are made from plastic cups and balloons.  We took them outside to experiment with force and motion.  First we used a little force by pulling the balloon back just a bit before launching.  Then we used a lot of force by pulling the balloon back as far as we could.  What do you think happened?



Then we had a competition to see who could launch their marshmallow the farthest.  Congratulations to Valentina whose marshmallow traveled almost forty (of Mrs. Russo's) feet.  Then we went inside to record our findings.
