EQUIPMENT
AND MATERIALS:
|
A CD a bottle cap and a balloon
|
PROCEDURE:
|
Step 1:Glue the bottle cap over the cd hole.
Step 2: Blow up the balloon. When it is fully inflated twist the end so no air comes out.
Step 3: stretch the balloon over the end of the bottle cap.
Step 4: open up the cap and place the CD on the surface.
Step 5: untwist balloon and let go.

OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:

It hovered across the table and left a trace of air.

CONCLUSION:
|
The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the CD and reduces the friction
across the surface.
