My Favourite Lesson #02:- Chemistry of Rocket Propulsion through the example of Balloon
Hello Teachers!
I hope that you all are enjoying your learning and also enhancing them. Another great contest, my favorite lesson # 2 to remember the glorious days and memories of school time. I hope that this post will remain useful and entertaining from my favorite lessons. Everyone has an interest and liking in a particular subject. A whole day in school, he has been eagerly waiting for the period of that subject.
So let's start this post with my favorite one
What was your favorite lesson in school, and explain why you liked that lesson?
Favourite Lesson
Once, during my school days, I saw a rocket going into space on TV, so I was very curious about what happens when a rocket is off the ground and sent into space. Finally, the day came when I got the answer to this question. It was my chemistry class and one day, when it came, I was filled with joy. It was called Rocket Propulsion.

Reason
So, it was an interesting and difficult lesson to look at, but my teacher made it very easy with the help of an example. That example was of a thread and a balloon. I liked this lesson a lot because it tried to research and depict space by combining physics and chemistry.
Rocket propulsion is an amazing and energetic phenomenon because it involves chemical reactions and physical forces that send the rocket flying. The balloon and thread experiment helps to understand it easily. When I saw that the air makes the balloon move, I felt interested in the depth of the science that lifts the rocket from the ground and into space benthic. My dream of knowing about space became even more eager after understanding this example.
What achievements have you made in your favorite lesson?
Not only did I understand Rocket Purple through this example, but I also got it published in the form of an article in the school magazine. This not only increased the prestige of the school but also earned me appreciation. It was put up as an exhibition at a science fair, which was organized at the district level. In addition, my experiment was also awarded the first position in an inter-school competition.
Share memories with the teacher who taught that lesson?
My chemistry teacher tried his best to make every lesson interesting and understandable. He had a wealth of knowledge. This lesson was the most memorable and enjoyable. He made it a priority to understand the principles behind all the experiments.
I still remember the moment when we filled balloons of different sizes with air and observed their speed. He answered this question himself by saying that more air makes the balloon move faster.
His passion, enthusiasm, and style of presentation made the learning process more interesting for me. I still remember this incident as if it happened yesterday.
Share the material you like/are good at from the lesson, and give an explanation so we can understand it, too.
Explanations are as follows
Material
- Balloon
- String
- Tape
- straw
Principle
It works upon the Newton third law of motion:-
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Experiment steps
- We tied a thread between the two ends of the wall and inserted a straw into it.
- We glued the balloon to the straw, inflated it, and tied a knot.
- As soon as air was released from the balloon, the air inside it was expelled and pushed the balloon forward along the thread, just like a rocket works.
Explanation
- The balloon represents the rocket.
- The air in the balloon acts as fuel for the rocket.
- When the air is released from the balloon, it creates a force that helps the balloon to move in another position directly. The same in the form of gases in rocket.

Actually, chemistry lessons are fun, but I really suck at this subject. Maybe it's the effect of monotonous teaching techniques, let's just say that.
This is a good lesson experiment presentation, do you have a video of the balloon rocket launching? I really want to see it.
Yes,chemistry is really tough one but teaching techniques and ways made it easy for us.Teacher is more important than taught.I did not have video of school time.So,sorry for not having video for you.
Hello, it seems we share similar traits and that's the likeness for Chemistry... I hope to learn more of from especially in the rocket propulsion aspect.
Yes you are right.

Thanks to all of you.
