It's Not Rocket Science

Friday, February 18, 2011

I apologize for the bad quality of today's picture, but I think the subject

makes up for the complete awesomeness of the whole thing...We built bottle

rockets in science last week. Best. Unit. Ever. We had a competition to see

whose could make it from the balcony at our school to the forest across the

road. My friend and I made this one (Hoshi - Japanese for "star") and it got

third place!

Quote Of The Day:

"We will never be an advanced civilization as long as rain

showers can delay the launching of a space rocket."

~ George Carlin

50 Word Story:

Science Rocks

The smell of duct tape hangs heavy in the air as the bottle rockets are

assembled in various colors and shapes...some more promising than others.

Finally, each rocket sent flying. Some nose plant on the road, some soar into

the forest. Young, eager aeronautical engineers running down to retrieve

them.
