Question
oon Rocket
A balloon rocket is made by attaching a balloon to a straw with tape. The straw is threaded onto a wire that is stretched across a room. When the air is released, the balloon travels in a direction opposite to the air flow, as shown.
Two investigations are planned with the balloon rockets. In the first investigation, a regular balloon rocket will be tested and a balloon rocket with five pennies attached to it will be tested. In the second investigation, two balloons will be attached to the same straw, facing each other. The air in these two balloons will be released at the same time. The supplies available for each investigation are shown.
A roll of tape, a spool of wire, a tape measure, pennies, a balloon pump, straws, a timer, a weighing scale, and three deflated balloons.dentify the independent and dependent variables in the first investigation by dragging and dropping the correct labels into the table.

In the first investigation, the independent variable and the dependent variable can be identified as follows:
**Independent Variable:** The presence of pennies attached to the balloon rocket (regular balloon rocket vs. balloon rocket with five pennies).
**Dependent Variable:** The distance traveled by the balloon rocket or the time it takes for the balloon rocket to travel a certain distance (this will depend on how you choose to measure the outcome of the investigation).
Here's how you can structure the table:
| Independent Variable | Dependent Variable |
|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| Presence of pennies (regular vs. with 5) | Distance traveled or time taken |
