I'm afraid today was just an average old day of: JOG A THON, ART, and ROCKETS!
Your kids did an amazing job in the Jog-a-thon.
The rest of the day's activities consisted of glazing the clay pots, reading, and creating rockets.
The rockets were made out of paper and were launched by the rocket launcher that we built as a class with the supplies that C6 family members donated. THANK you to all those that helped out!
Many kids wanted to make their own launchers at home so here are some directions.
Materials: 4' of PVC pipe, 3" bolt (washer and nut), bicycle tire tube, 2 liter pop bottle, duct tape, 4 L-brackets and screws, 2 (3'-4') lengths of 1 x8 or 2 x 8 boards
Assembly:
1. Bracket the boards together in a perpendicular, upside down "T" shape
2. Drill a whole 3/4 of the way up the vertical board
3. Drill a whole in the 4' length of PVC pipe 2/3 of the way down one side of the pipe
4. Bolt together the vertical board and the PVC pipe
5. Duct tape the tire tube to the short end of the PVC pipe
6. Duct tape the bottle to the tire tube
7. Stomp on the label part of the bottle to launch a rocket off the long end of the PVC pipe
Have Fun!
