Owlet vs CloudLabs Water Balloon Fair

Owlet: Cube6 is an app that uses two Owlet CubeTower manipulatives. This app builds on the Cube3 app by enabling students to create six-digit numbers by stacking small cubes in the columns of two CubeTowers. Cube6 has three modes. Each corresponds to a different topic in place value: Thousands, Money, and Decimals. For each topic, there are five different activities. - Explore: Students place cubes in the CubeTowers to create numbers that are shown on the tablet. - Make: Students are prompted to make a target number by placing cubes in the CubeTowers. - Build: Students solve number puzzles. For example, students might be asked to build a number between 200,000 and 300,000 using 15 cubes. - Compare: Students create a number in the CubeTowers and then compare it to a number generated by the app. - Round: Students use the CubeTowers to round a number to a specified place.

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.
