Balloon Camera

I know if I ever went back to full time teaching and had to teach a science class of any kind, I would totally be obsessed with having the kids create one of these balloon cameras. A project like this would be so totally involving and exciting to do and so much more motivating than worksheets on how a first class lever works.

And then it’s would be time for HAMMY THE SPACE HAMSTER - he would look great in his little space suit.

"This photo was taken with a $45 point-and-shoot, and it wasn’t by an astronaut sitting in a space shuttle!Two regular guys sent their cheapoid camera 27 miles up into the sky by attaching it to a balloon! Duct tapes n’ elbow grease is all it takes sometimes."
