Up, Up, and Away!

Fifth grade students at Vogelweh Elementary were offered an after school opportunity to build and launch hot air balloons and water bottle rockets. The students worked in small groups to build the colorful balloons, but were able to create their own rocket. Several students chose to make both! The balloons required the gluing of delicate tissue paper into the desired shape and needed to be constructed one group at a time with the teacher. They successfully launched 10 water bottle rockets and 8 balloons on a day perfectly designed for flying.
