Aim: I want to find out if we can knock over a massive tower of paper cups with the smoke ring from the vortex cannon with how big the hit is.      

Equipment

Bucket

smoak machine

Duct tape

Rubbish bag

A round 40 Cups

Method

1.collect your equipment

2.Get a bucket and cut a medium  sized hole in the middle of the bottom and put a plastic bag over the bucket

3.Use the duct tape and tape the plastic bag to the open end

4.Set up the cup tower

5.Fill up the bucket up with the smoke

6.smack the plastic bag really hard and watch the smoke ring shoot out and see how much cups you can get down with on hit.

Attmept	Number of cups	How hard it was hit
1st	Air:2	medium
2nd	air:3	medium
3nd	Air:all of them	hard

We found out that the furthest one hit the most cups down in one hit.we had to use air. Closer we were the air went through the cups and only took down 2 hits.The things went bad was that the smoke machine didn’t work so we had just use air. The things that went will was that we use are time well and finish the experiment. I think next  time i will try to not rush things but still get it done in time.
