I have been doing this project the past 19 years, this being the second at Vista. The students are very enthusiastic and the follow-u- p work lots of science, physics and math as we continue the unit. It is a good learning experience, as well as lots of fun, he concluded. GRANGER. A balloon released last September from Granger elementary was found last week in Ontario, Canada. Students in the fith grade class taught by Pamela Paz received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Desilets, who said the balloon must have been buried under snow all winter. Mr. Desilets came across several balloons while walking on the shore of Lake Nipissing and the one that was still intact was the one bearing the message from the Granger school. The couple sent the students a map with the area where the balloon was found circled. Their letter also noted the lake is about nine miles from the birthplace of the Dionne MAGNA. Something new has been added to the June agenda at the Magna Library here, with a pajama storytime that will begin on June 5 and continue each Thursday evening through June 26. Darlene Kite, childrens librarian, said the sessions will begin at 7 p.m. and children of all ages are being invited to listen to Mother Goose rhymes. There will also be Dr. Suess stories, including Sam of Green Eggs and Ham fame, as well as stories about dogs, cats and fear of the dark. at 10 OUT TO LAUNCH . . .

First, the weather must be good; second, all classroom assignments must be completed; third, all equipment must be present and in good order. We also stressed a total of 14 safety rules, which I feel should be observed by all students working on projects, at home or at school, the teacher said. Four basic rules were: rockets could not weigh more than 16 ounces with engine installed; electric ignition must be used rather than fire; launch must be at not less than 70 degrees angle; all launches must be completely clear of power lines. Kids working on projects at home need to learn these basics in Mr. order to avoid accidents, Galbraith said. The design and materials of each rocket were done by students he said, with some including scissor wings and several having boosters. Return could be made by gliding, Hillside Pupils Balloon From Join Hands, Granger Now In Ontario Help Hungry On June 18 :D pi noted. Students used such items as wax paper rollers for the body tube, corrugated cardboard for nose cones and fins, plastic bags and thread for parachutes and ordinary hairpins for metal parts, he said. The unit included extensive use of math and science and will continue with follow-u- p work in both areas, the teacher added. A command center was set up, including a launching pad, control system and loud speakers and each student was assigned certain duties, some as igniters, some tracking altitude, flight duration and other factors. Altitude trackers and recorders were stationed at two points, each 200 feet from the control center, using protractors attached to drinking straws with nuts to sight through to measure altitude, said Galbraith. Students learned work tangent tables and studied gravity, drag, thurst, fuel and what makes engines work - oxygen, heat and use of solid propellants. Designs were worked out first on the blackboard, then on paper and there were lots of experiments as students tried, then modified, their designs, the teacher observed. Three major rules were establish- - ti r-- mini-cours- by parents and Winnie The Pooh.
