Experience Reports
I tried to get fancy and use a cardboard tube as the body of the rocket, rather than just connecting the balloon directly to the straw. The kids had a great time decorating the tube to look like a rocket, but we weren't able to get much distance with the rocket set up that way. I presume the extra weight added too much friction.
