How cool would it be to send a balloon
into space with something special in it?
Mr. Schroeder (our school’s science teacher) is working on
a project (sending a balloon into space) with his high school students. Here
you can watch some videos of a similar experience (our students were excited
watching it):
The balloon will carry a special camera, a GPS tracker and
some small, light objects (no more than 1 kg in total!). Our classroom will be
sending our students’ handprints. The balloon will be launched at the end of
April. When it lands, it will bring back our students’ handprints (that would
have travelled into outer space!), and the video of its journey.
We will be sharing this with you!
In order to do some pretests Mr. Schroeder’s students
launched a small balloon from our school’s playground and our students had
followed closely...

...And had done the counting
down....
