the one with the rocket launch

Today we watched one more presentation.

Britany finally got her wish. We took the class outside in the lovely weather and let them launch the rockets. They were pretty unimpressive at first, just reaching 2-3 feet in height and leaving a vinegary/baking soda mess on the ground. Then one of our classmates really shoved the cork in hard and his rocket shot into the air! It was awesome.

We took notes for the rest of the class period. The class was incredibly chatty today. Election day jitters/excitement? Perhaps. After class I exercised the heck out of my civic duties and voted.

blog you later,
