Rocket Launch in Williamstown - May 7, 2005

These pictures were taken with my Olympus C730 Ultra Zoom digital camera in Williamstown, Massachusetts, on May 7, 2005. This is what middle school science teachers do on Saturday afternoons. Most images are shown at a resolution of 640x480, but are available in their full 2048x1536 size by clicking on the links after the captions.

The workshop where this was built. Notice the newly-stained picnic table. [2048x1536]

Now, trying it with some water in the bottle. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

In goes the air. [2048x1536]

Liftoff! [2048x1536]

And almost back down to the ground. [2048x1536]
