Group 2 Data

For our data, we tested the wattages and times it would take a green laser to burn paper and to pop various colors of balloon. For our paper tests, we recorded the laser’s power and how long it took to burn the paper. For the balloon tests, we recorded power, the balloon’s color, and how long it took to pop the balloon.
