Balloon Car Challenge

Your challenge is to build a balloon car that travels the farthest, carrying 5 pennies, on tile or carpet (we will try on both).  However, all good engineers need to consider cost when designing a project.  Each item that you use will have an associated "cost", even if you provide it yourself (see me for a cost on original materials).  You will have two class periods to build your design, and we will have a competition the week of March 5th.  Your final project must include the following:

1.  a completed, functioning balloon car
2.  a budget with a total cost for supplies
3.  a Keynote presentation or iMovie that "advertises" your design and its cost.  It must also describe how the car demonstrates EACH of the 3 laws of motion
4.  post the presentation/movie to Facebook or email it to me
