Record observations and data on the handout.
1. Inflate a balloon to about 45cm in circumference.
2. Cover the balloon in aluminum foil and measure the
circumference of the “star”.
3. Measure the mass of the “star”.
4. Pop the balloon and gently crush the foil (NOT ALL
THE WAY) to represent a supernova.
5. Measure the new circumference and mass.
6. Crush the foil a second time, measure the mass and
