our scientist

Karlee loved C4K. She learned some fun things in her chemistry class that she had to try at home. Here she has dry ice in a bowl of water. She then puts a seal of soap across the top of the bowl so a bubble will form. She then is able to pick up the bubble with soapy hands. Mason also thought this was very cool.

She also took a space shuttle class. At first she wasn't very excited about the class. On day two, the class was able to have a tour of some old airplanes. Which was very exciting. (She talked not stop about every detail on the drive home.) There were a few days that the weather was raining so she wasn't able to set off her rocket at school, but she was able to bring home. On a sunny Saturday she set it up. None of us were sure what would happen.
WOW!! That rocket flew fast and high. All of us were shocked. What a rush!! We may have to encourage her with all this science.




I don't know how expensive rockets are for a hobby...we may have to seriously check it out.

Way to go Karlee!!
