Balloon Powered Boat

With this toy from Schylling, escaping air from the balloon propels the wooden boat through water. 

Playing with this boat is a great opportunity to talk about many interesting science concepts, including:

• Newton's third law of motion ("Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.")
• Potential and kinetic energy
• Air pressure (the balloon acts as a pressure vessel) 

This boat can be used in the pool, pond or even the bath!

Includes 3 balloons and a boat. 

Ages 4+. Package size: 15.9cm width
