B-3 Physics Hot Air Balloons

December 1, 2020

Before the daylight broke through the horizon, the Physics B-1 Class set out to fly their hot air balloons. Three days of cutting, gluing, taping, and patching went into each individual hot air balloon. The air was cold and fresh; the perfect environment to fly the hot air balloons. The first few struggled to lift off as the air struggled to heat up from the night cold. It was around the end that the hot air finally lifted the balloon off the ground. They travelled over the fence and into the baseball field. Of the nine balloons three ended up on the roof. Only two returned to the surface.
