Balloon hovercrafts are often used for elementary age science projects. Each hovercraft needs a hole for the air in the balloon to escape. The air that escapes from the hole makes the craft hover. Turn the CD over after gluing the pipe on. Allow the glue to dry before turning it over. The hovercraft now looks like the bottom of a CD with a small pipe attached to the other side.
