The activity our class was doing was where we had to predict where a inflated balloon would land. When I did the horizontal launch a lot of my predictions were spot on and I was very suprised at that. My closest estimate was 80 cm away! My worst was 584 cm away. when I did the vertical launch I noticed that my estimates were a lot farther away than the horizontal launch. The steps you take are just blowing up a balloon, estimating and then letting go to see where it goes after you measure to see how far it is from the target. From this activity I learned that my estimates aren't always exact and this was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. I think teachers should do this activity because it is very educational and I learned a lot also I learned a lot about how to estimate.
