Mrs. Burrell's 5th grade gifted class had an exciting visit from a Solar System Ambassador this week! The grant from the Putnam Education Foundation that Mrs. Burrell received for her project "Experiments in Microgravity," has allowed her and her students to dig deeply into the exciting world of space science.

During her visit, the students got to build circuits, launch rockets, experiment with lenses, and even learn that disposable diapers were originally designed for astronauts!
It was a great day for the students (and adults)!
