• To help parents and carers engage kids with science at home

• To teach kids how to cook

• To provide exercise routines for families

Which of the following is NOT needed to make a balloon rocket?

• Glue

• String

• Paper straw

• Balloon

What is the purpose of cutting the straw into two short lengths?

• To create a path for the string

• To balance the balloon

• To make it easier to blow up the balloon

• To decorate the rocket

Why is it important to have tension in the string for the balloon rocket?

• To ensure the balloon rocket moves in a straight line

• To make the setup look neat

• To prevent the balloon from popping

• To make the balloon fly higher

What happens when you open one end of the balloon?

• The unbalanced force causes the balloon to move

• The balloon changes color

• The particles inside the balloon stop moving

• The balloon deflates slowly

What is the role of air particles inside the balloon?

• They make the balloon heavier

• They change the color of the balloon

• They make the balloon quieter

• They create a balanced force by moving in all directions

How does the principle of the balloon rocket relate to real rockets?

• Both use air to move

• Both are used for space travel

• Both rely on unbalanced forces to propel forward

• Both are made of the same materials

What is the main difference between the balloon rocket and real rockets?

• Real rockets are smaller

• Real rockets use fuel instead of air

• Real rockets do not use any force

• Real rockets are not affected by gravity

What should you do if you're unsure about the science behind the balloon rocket?

• Ignore it and move on

• Ask a friend to do it for you

• Have fun experimenting with your family

• Stop the experiment immediately

What is the key takeaway from the 'Do Try This at Home' video series?

• Only experts can understand science

• Science can be fun and educational for the whole family

• Science is too complex for home experiments

• Science is only for school settings
