EQUIPMENT 
AND MATERIALS:
You need a dvd, bottle cap and a balloon.
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 over. 
The end of the bottle cap.
Step 3: Stretch the balloon over the end of the bottle cap.
Step 4: Open up the cap and place the cd on the surface.
Step 5: Untwist balloon and let go. 
OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:
It hoved across on the table like a lawnmower.

CONCLUSION:
The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the CD and reduced the friction so the disc moved freely across the table.
