B E G I N N I N G	TITLE	Balloon Hovercraft
	QUESTION	How does a hovercraft hover?
	HYPOTHESIS	I predict that it's going to hover across the table.

M I D D L E	EQUIPMENT  AND MATERIALS:	I need some air, a balloon, a bottle cap and a cd.
	PROCEDURE:	Step 1:Using a hot glue gun,glue the bottle cap over the CD hole. Step 2:twist the end so no air comes out.blow up a balloon end over the bottle lid.  Step 3: Stretch the balloon end over the bottle lid. Step 4: open up the cap and place the CD on a table. Step 5: untwist balloon and let go.
	OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:	The Hovercraft hovered over to the other side of the table. It was slightly off the table. It left a damp trail.

E N D

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.
