the great Race

 Here be the Dragon.

We are studying Newtonian physics in 9th Grade science, the Balloon Car Race was the activity of the day. To demo Newton's 3rd Law, we each got a styrofoam meat tray, 3 drinking straws, 2 bamboo skewers, hot glue and a balloon. Our task was to design a  race car. To be the top dog, your car had to go from end to end of our gym. Other milestones were the half court mark, and the opposite free throw line. I was second or third dog, but I managed to vanquish several of my favorite students! Yesssss!
