We are going to make measurements for one balloon, using PVC to deflect it.

We will need to measure the mass of the balloon (in kg), the distance between the center of the balloon and the PVC, and the angle of deflection for various setups. Try bringing the PVC different distances from the balloon, not getting closer than 8cm. Read the protractor as accurately as you can.

Follow the directions on this worksheet and turn it in as a group. Please ensure that everyone in your group gets a chance to work on all parts of this activity.
