Tonight was science night at the middle school. For the last week James and Kenzie have been working on their projects. (We're only on our 12th day of school by the way.) James needed to make a rocket that would go the farthest distance, and Kenzie needed to make a car that would go the farthest distance.
Both James and Kenzie were in the top 3 in their class and made it to the evening compition. Above is a picture of Kenzie's car rolling down the "track".
Above left, is a picture of James' rocket as it flew away from us. It went 140 meters tonight. (His rocket is that little dot.) Above right, is a picture of his rocket after several launchings. It's a little dirty and a lot dented. It made several "stuck" landings with the nose burried into the ground.
At the award cermony we learned that Kenzie won 3rd place tonight. She went 6.8 meters tonight, but it went 13.6 meters during class.
