The activity below is one of your Mini Tasks (A mini tasks will help you in doing your big task or
Performance task by the end of this quarter.)

What you will do: Design and build a vehicle (called a Balloon Rocket Racer) out of common items found in a recycling bin, for example, a plastic
lid, plastic container, the hard core of a toilet paper roll, rubber bands, balloon, etc. The vehicle must have a mechanism for motion based on
Newton’s laws of motion. You must showcase your vehicle how fast will it move during our virtual class on September 24, 2021.
You must be creative with your work.
