The Junior High students, under the direction of Mrs.
Hill, launched rockets made in our own science lab. We used materials from kits
provided to us, followed step-by-step instructions, and in groups, we decorated
our rockets with our own artistic finesse. Some of us flew our rockets high into
the sky while others caused the audience to gasp due to malfunctions and
wayward trajectories.
Both the lower and upper elementary classes came to
enthusiastically support the event. The kids enjoyed counting down before each
launch. Some parents of the Junior High students came and watched as well. One
of the last rockets to take off flew a wee bit off course and landed in one of
Montessori’s neighboring yards. We thought it might have been headed down a
Montessori parent’s chimney. The creators of this malfunctioning rocket ran
after it as the crowd of children watched in awe. Overall it was a very
enjoyable and educational experience.
