Flight of the C-9!

The final flight of the week and Ms. Prows was on it! Today the zero G experiment was with the pinball machine and tornado tube. Some of the student hypothesis were correct, so we have a lot of data to review when we get back home.

After two days of our team in zero G, NO one became sick! Go team! It was not a "vomit comet" for us, but the "weightless wonder".

In the afternoon we were able to watch movies that each team created of their experiment from beginning to end, including the flight week. It was a wonderful way to end our time with NASA.

"Free Air Release Technique"

Today we learned about the various gases in our bodies and how they react in high altitudes. On Monday we will be entering a hypobaric chamber and brought to an altitude of 25,000 feet to see how our bodies react to the reduced air pressure and oxygen in our bodies. We continue to work and fine tune our experiment.
