Have you ever dreamed of floating through the clouds? Today Mrs. Rahn's classes will be a part of the Mid-Atmospheric Balloon Launch. Mrs. Rahn's class is partnering with the Smithsonian US Air & Space Museum with the Balloon Launch Across America! We are one of 8 schools across the country who will be launching the balloons. Students are doing a Neutral Buoyancy Lab to prepare for a Mid-Atmospheric Balloon Launch. They used Helium filled balloons and different weights to allow balloons to hover in a neutral space without positive or negative buoyancy. Each balloon has a small satellite and tracker where students will see "Real-Time Data" and track the balloon's journey. Our goal is to have our balloon travel around the world! Today at 12:15 PM you can watch Mrs. Rahn live Youtube https://youtu.be/2mX7TOoYAPs Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ClaremorePublicSchools or You can the livestream from the Smithsonian here: https://airandspace.si.edu/events/live-balloon-launch-across-america #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
