Project is still going strong

Although our flight was in Feb. and the students analyzed the data in March, the project is not over yet. We have three major items that still need to be finished.

1. Our final report to NASA.
2. The students will need to present the project on May 1st.
3. A final all school assembly presentation of our experiences.
   

Yesterday we had a work day funded by the Arlington Public Schools Science office. It provided funding for substitutes for Mrs. Donovan, Ms. Golden and Mrs. Frick. The four of us worked on the first two items on the todo and got pretty far.

Now just to get some ideas for a fun, interesting, end-of-the-project presentation that the whole school will enjoy.

Any ideas, let us know in the comments.

Video from the Flight of Mrs. Donovan

These are just a couple of of clips from Feb. 6, 2007. This is the day that Mrs. Donovan flew with Ms. Nash.

The first video is the Weightless Wonder taking off.





The second video is of the plane coming in after landing.



Please note that these small videos were taken using the video feature on our Sony Still Cameras. It is easy then to upload the video using Yahoo Video. Once uploaded Yahoo provides html code to post into the blog to make watching and playing the video very easy.

Fox5 News visits Barrett--Zero G
