Pitsco Zoon Hot-Air Balloon Kit (Individual Pack)

Good product for the money. Have the students work in teams of two. I launched all the balloons using a heat gun. I had 9 teams only one was unable to complete their ballon.

Did not meet expectations for a couple of reasons. First, it was moderately difficult for our middle school aged students to correctly assemble. Second, because of its delicate and flimsy nature, it is nearly impossible to inflate correctly outdoors if there is ANY breeze (5+ mph) at all. Might add another star after students test it again INDOORS.

I was surprised at the kit. I didn't expect the balloon to be quite so large, although not difficult to put together, it was a bit more time consuming than what I originally thought it would be. It is a fun project for a science class.

All in all this product is ok, the tissue paper included in the kit consisted of ugly colors my ballon was not a sight to see, the gluestick provided was of bad quality the tissue paper had a hard time sticking together, the instructions are a little unclear for children (I am a teacher) so you really have to read it and explain it well before you let students work on this.

Good product but instructions are very difficult o follow. There is No i tructional DVD with this project as there are with most of the other Zoon products.

Good little Kit, I had a decent amount of Tissue paper left, I bought the 30 student kit. The launcher is a expensive, I made one for about $30 and then bought a Wagner paint dryer dun(Like a hair dryer) for about 30 and had a good launcher. It will take upwards of 60-90 minutes fo rthe kids the build. Than overnight for the glue to dry.
