During the last couple of weeks, in science class, Dex was challenged to build a moving vehicle powered by a balloon. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of his awesome design but found a photo to give you an idea.
After much trial and error Dex powered his final car with 2 straws and a balloon. It did look very similar to this one. He was the champion designer in 7th grade with his car traveling over 10 meters.
To finish the project he had to compile a paper about the process of building the car and what possibly could have been done to make the car perform better.
Hmmm.
At the supper table he informed us that question stumped him.
"So, he said, I wrote the first thing that came to my mind. A jet powered engine with rocket boosters."
Dad erupted with laughter. I, on the hand, wondered if his teacher would find the humor in his answer.
**He claims to have asked the teacher and she said that answer would be fine. Where were those teachers when I was in school?
