 BLAST OFF!
By: Megan Adkins
Jes White, a representative for NASA, made a visit to Hannan today. Mr. White is from NASA IV & V located in Fairmont, WV.
 He brought  NASA logo stickers to pass out to students.

The NASA Insignia, (shown on the left) reflects the history and tradition of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Designed in 1959 and more commonly referred to as the "meatball," the NASA Insignia contains the following elements: the sphere representing a planet, the stars representing space, the vector representing aeronautics, and the orbit representing space travel.

Jes White shows eighth graders how to make there own air propelled rocket as Eighth graders continue to explore force this week at Hannan. .

The rockets were made with construction paper and duct tape. The students had to roll the paper around a tube and tape it.

They then had to seal off one end of the tube. At the sealed end, the students created a point at make it look more realistically. Everyone went to the football field to fire their new rockets.

While some added too much air pressure and the rockets burst, others flew to the other side of the field. The longest rocket was shot by Allie Call and Laykin Stover.
