We mainly observed Jupiter and 3 of its moons. Everyone enjoyed the evening. Lower elementary children did very creative work. 4th and 5th graders were excited about their rockets. Launches were successful. They used their scientific skills and followed the scientific method. 6th graders had a great time riding the hover craft. Their observations, analysis and ideas for modifications were interesting. 8th graders also had a good time on their straw-launched-paper rocket contest.
