April 7, entry 34

Chemistry

So chemistry has been interesting since yesterday and today. We have successfully created a compressed air launcher with some surgical tubing, a part of a syringe, a sink, and a cork. Yesterday we had a hollow ball that was on the end of the syringe so you could suck water in with it but we accidentally broke that. The air would build up or the water would fill it up and it'd shoot off. That's how it started at least. Anyway, the ball got a hole on it so we had to find something else to launch. We found a cork. That works much better than the ball. I think we have mastered the art of launching the cork. Now we just need to make one on a bigger scale.
