EQUIPMENT
AND MATERIALS:

Balloon
Bottle cap
Disc
Hot glue gun

PROCEDURE:
|
Step 1: Using a hot glue gun, glue the bottle cap over the CD hole.
Step 2: Blow up a balloon. When it is fully inflated twist the end so no air comes out.
Step 3: Stretch the balloon end over the bottle lid.
Step 4: Open up the cap and place the CD on the table.
Step 5: Untwist balloon & let go.

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.
