🚀 ROCKETS TAKE FLIGHT🚀
J. D. Parker Elementary School fourth-graders recently worked to construct a rocket while also determining ways to keep spacecraft “passengers” safe. The students used eggs as their passengers - if an egg cracked, it didn’t survive the mission. The students were able to keep two eggs intact for their flights. Way to go, Rockets!
