Tape your string up high to really see the rocket effect. Thread your straw through the other side of the string. Then blow up your balloon, the more air the further it will fly. Tape the ballon to the straw. Don't forget to count down! 3, 2, 1, blast off!

Watch our video if you're still not convinced of how cool this trick really is.

This is a fun experiment for a rainy day. Or if it's sunny, tie your string to a tree and really let your balloon soar!
