Balloon cart reflection.

 1 day ago Miss Craill had a creative task for us, It wasn't her idea but it makes us think and it is sometimes good fun. So basically we were making balloon carts, she gave us this to build them with, 2 straws, 2 long chopstick things, 1 meat tray, 6 wheels (in the form of milk bottle caps),tape and a balloon.

She told us to either have a buddy ship of 2 or 3, so me and Thom Caughley buddy up, He did all the scientific stuff while I was exploring the YouTube algorithm (because I don't know science stuff).

Once he sketched out the science and showed the teacher, we were good to make it a 3D model. The meat tray was the main platform of the whole cart, we put the 2 long chopsticks through the beam and we put wholes through the milk bottles and we basically made the a car without a balloon, so now it was time to attach the balloon to the car, that was very easy and we finished.

So we raced them with everybody else and we failed very much, we came like 7th out of 8 people I think. I struggled on keeping the wheels on the cart. I learnt that if there was too much force from the balloon that the car would flip over. But anyway it was still a good experience of what boomers did when they were 7.
