Eileen,

I like how you have planned to try two quite different rocket models, the Rocket Mice and the balloon rockets.

To make the balloon rockets seem more rocket-like you could fix the string vertically. We did a similar activity last year during Space Week, building up to “Heavy Lifters.” The heavy lifting task could be a “take the next step” for children who find the balloon rocket task straightforward.
