PING PONG BALLS MICROGRAVITY!

 

This video shows what happens when you put 30 teachers with 2,000 ping pong balls in microgravity on the Zero-G plane.  It is very similar to what I will be doing on my flight....minus the ping pong balls.  The ping pong balls float around until the plane flies down again and they feel gravity again, and everyone falls to the floor of the plane!  I love this video!

What else do you think would act differently in Microgravity?  Please post a comment or even a picture of how you think your object will react.  I can't wait to see the great ideas you have!

Thank you, Ms. Isonhood

Guess who was on NM Style!

If you attended the NASA Video Conference, you just might see yourself on here too...

NASA Video Conference Friday June 1st @ 9am

Come check out the NASA Video conference tomorrow in my classroom!  You will be able to hear more about what I'm doing this summer as well as have a chance to ask NASA questions over video.  It's gonna be EPIC!

Congratulations Noah Drexler!

Noah (1st period Science) brought many great ideas for me to take on my flight.  His 'parachute man' was voted the best to go up in the Weightless Wonder with me!  We will test to see how the parachute man, now named "Captain Noah", reacts in microgravity.  I can't wait to see the results.  Make your own Hypothesis.....How will Captain Noah react in Zero-Gravity?
