Educational Outreach this Saturday |
This weekend we are going to the buffalo museum of science. The
plan is to do rocket balloons, talk about the moon (we have a moon
globe), and have a short video for them to watch. I was toying with
the idea of bringing the impact crater flour thing where they throw
golf balls into flour to see the craters they make, but it makes a
mess and we won't have our normal spot due to body worlds. If you
would like to come please respond to this email.
Saturday we'll be leaving around 11 and coming back around 3. If
anybody wants to carpool/needs a ride please let me know.
