For the past couple weeks our grade has been working on a huge project. The end result was a weather balloon going into space. I worked by myself on this project and I designed a container. This container was made out of polystyrene which made it very light. To keep the container from shedding I covered it in aluminum foil and duct tape. In the end my container was not chosen to go into space but was a very interesting looking thing.
The balloon went into space Friday and got quite a bit of publicity. Mr. H was clearly nervous but excited. I can't wait to see what we do with the left over containers!!! :)
I FINALLY GOT THE CONTAINER THROUGH A TEST!!! Mr. H and I went to the bleachers and did some tests and it worked really well!!!
Tonight at 6!!!!!!!!! :)
:( I guess not....but all in all it was a fun project...
Wow the containers that are being designed are amazing but I hope that spending the majority of my time on design was a good idea. Fingers crossed!!!
We had Ms. Baehr the other day and I worked a lot on my design so I know exactly what I'm doing. I can't wait to start building.
