Today’s Topic: Reasons for the Seasons and Rocket at the Ready
We started out today with myth busters … most people have a misconception of why the seasons occur. I wonder if all you remember what the reason is since we studied it. Hmm… did it have anything to do with the rotation of the earth on its axis? I have a neat experiment with a bicycle tire, just come by and ask me.

The rest of the day was spent studying Newton’s Laws of Motions. We built rockets, launchers, and then flew the rockets. Want to try an experiment at home? Send me an email and I’ll send you the 
directions. It’s really cool and really easy. I made two rockets today, one used my blowing in a straw to launch it. The other was an 11 inch rocket. I named it in honor of you! We launched it with 40 
pounds of compressed air.

I met a new friend today so I thought I would send you a picture of her. Have a great day!
Today is gone and tomorrow is Disney World and Epcot.
