Because we had the freedom to design our balloons however we wanted. The only standard to follow was the balloon pattern. We made a contest out of it but everyone was involved in all of the groups at one time or another. Finally we finished but the launch had to be postponed due to weather a few times. We invited the kindergarten class from Dorris Elementary to watch.
Science is fun.
Today hypothesis was in the air. After the first balloon burned up on the launch pad we asked. After all that work we didn't want our balloons to burn up. We all decided that we must go on with the assignment. The pictures you see on this page are our balloons in flight.
