Just The Right Height

This activity demonstrated alot of trial-and-error, the specificity of the activity was minimal therefore many mistakes and failed trials occurred. Our task was to somehow connect a styrofoam bowl to a balloon and have them both float off of the floor equaling the same height as the balloon that was the demonstration. It was fustrating trying to find just enough weight to give gravity the strength to pull it down but light enough to let it come off the floor. Over all trial-and-error helped my partner and I come up with a close calculation of it being in between both requirements. This helped me with realizing children will make mistakes but by trying again it will help you to learn from the experience by failing and trying to succeed with a different approach.
