Louisa builds the body of a race car out of cardboard. She tapes a straw to the cardboard so that one end of the straw is tilted up and the other end hangs over the back of the car. Then, she places an inflated balloon over the tilted end of the straw and releases the mouth of the balloon to allow air to flow through the straw. The race car rolls forward as the balloon releases air through the straw, as shown in the picture below.
