Hot Air Ballooning

In our class we are making hot air balloons with Mr Neal. Yesterday we made the canopy. Today we are melting the candles onto the tin foil and attaching the straws. Yesterday we tested Mr Neal's hot air balloon named "Casper" outside on the tennis court. Casper inflated, lifted off the ground ever so slightly then went up in flames. Mr Neal said it was a step towards success. Today when everyone has completed their balloons we plan to test them outside on the tennis court.
