Analyze your data.
What do you notice happens to the distance between "home" and each point as the balloon expanded?
Based on your model and data, what is happening to the universe over time?
Did the galaxies closest to "home" or those farther away appear to move the greatest distance?
As with any model, there are some flaws or misconceptions. What are some problems with using a balloon to model the expansion of the universe?

Answer

Analyze your data.
As the balloon expands, the distance between "home" and each point increases.

Based on your model and data, what is happening to the universe over time?
The universe is expanding over time.

Did the galaxies closest to "home" or those farther away appear to move the greatest distance?
The galaxies farther away appear to move the greatest distance.

As with any model, there are some flaws or misconceptions. What are some problems with using a balloon to model the expansion of the universe?
One problem is that a balloon expands in three dimensions, while the universe expands in all directions. Additionally, a balloon has a center of expansion, whereas the universe does not have a central point from which it expands.
