1. Explain what the balloon + dots represent. The ballon represent the universe, the dots represent the galaxies next to ours.

2. Which letter(s) moved the farthest from M? Which moved the least? The letter A moved the least, it went from 5cm away to 8cm away. The leter e moved the most, from 15cm to 37cm

3. Summarize the trend: the movement of glaxaies related to distance from M. The galaxies (dots), moved farther away from m because the balloon iss stretching, so each part of the balloon gets thinner and appears like the drawings are getting farther apart. This is because of the strecthing.

4.How does this experiment model what is occuring in our expanding universe? Because the balloon, when you blow more air into it, the rhbber balloon will expand and create the effects of the galaxies moving farther apart from eachother.

5. In what way does a balloon NOT represent the universe. It does not represent the universe because the galaxies are not expanding that fast, it takes a century for the galaxies to move about 1000 miles or 1609.344 kilometers.
