i)The thing that went right is that our group had brought all the
materials.
ii)The thing that went wrong is
Shao Quan made the balloon too big,
in the end it burst.
iii)I will tell Shao Quan not to
blow such a BIG balloon for testing before THE GREAT RACE.=)

ii)Balloon burst 3 times as blow to much.

i)The thing that went right is nothing...
ii)The thing that went wrong is that our balloon didn't make it to the finishing line and got caught in the middle.
iii)I think I will only blow the balloon when the race is about to start as air will escape if we blow it too early and the tape maybe we should put fewer tape then it will not be too heavy to blust off.

Congratz Kaven and your group.You are a professional balloon racer.XD

1)Something went right was that the string was just the amount we want.
2)Something went wrong was that Constance went lots of round with the sticky tape and it can't flew to the end of the string on the opposite side.
3)I will better prepare myself by blowing the balloon when the competition starts as the air wil not escape.

2)Our balloon didn't go except that it went a little bit before the middle.

3)I will put a big balloon and put two small balloons beside it so that it has two more engines.

Nice sportsmanship, Zheng Xuan.

That's the great thing about experiments. When you find out what went wrong, you try again with new results. Remember, we need to take note of the equipment or materials we use.

All of you did well guys.

I quote from Thomas Edison. When Thomas Edison failed in one of his experiments, he would say,

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
