Her birthday is on August 25th.

Her favorite school subjects are gym, recess, and lunch : )

She is good at hugs and art.

She looks forward to her birthday.

Emily’s dad came to help her with her Superstar Scientist time.  They did a rocket science experiment by using a 2 liter bottle.  They filled it with a little bit of water and had a cork that fit into the opening.  They had a pump needle poked through the cork and used an air compressor to pump air into the bottle until the pressure was too much that it pushed the air and water out the bottom of the bottle.  When the bottle was released from the “launcher”, air escaped the bottle (Newton’s third law of motion) increasing the thrust (adding more pressure to the bottle) which increased the acceleration.  The rocket shot all the way up on top of the school building!  What a fun way to start our week!

Emily was our FINAL Superstar Scientist of this school year.  You might say we went out with a little bit of a bang!
