We have been designing and making our own hot air balloons. We used plastic bags for the envelop and we made baskets to carry passengers. Can you remember what made the balloons float? What could we do to improve our designs?
I’m having a go at making a hot air balloon at home:
I’m going to bering my paper hot air balloon to school:

Well done Mia. We can look at it tomorrow
It looks fun making your own hot air balloon. I will try soon to make one.
I think I would use a paper bag and maybe a yoghurt pot for the basket
I think the hot air made it float Because the air pushes the balloon.
I liked the bottle rockets they were fun they looked like a water fountain shooting then coming back down again!

To make the balloon stay in the air longer we tried using a candle in our basket but ours didn’t go very far as our wires burnt and broke

Maybe you needed wire to attach the basket Jack. I’m impressed with your candle idea though.
