CloudLabs Water Balloon Fair
Read full descriptionHide full description
In this simulator, you are a participant in an event at an amusement park. There you must fill four (4) balloons with water and launch them towards a target. Then, determine the distance at which you launched them. To do so, you must identify and classify some basic characteristics of the balloons, such as weight, size, capacity, as well as some measurable units, such as the speed at which they were launched and their length.
