Were they all putting the pieces together now? Hmmm?

Professor Burbage returned, to the front of the classroom having finishing walking around as each student spoke, and beeeeeeeeeeeeamed at the class. "Very good all of you!" And she really did mean ALL of them. "This studmuffin here is Robert Hutchings Goddard who is an American physicist and inventor who is credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket. Just as Miss Branxton said, he was a fan of Sir Isaac Newton and was especially interested in his Laws of Motion which helped him to create and successfully build the first liquid-fueled rocket." See the connection darlings? "You see dears, to make a rocket work properly is veeeeeeeeery dependent on these three Laws. Without a proper understanding of them, your rocket would never truuuuuuuuuuuly blast off."

Which would be an AWFUL shame.

She, of course, could have gone in to some rather lengthy calculations right now involving thrust and acceleration, but a basic foundation was more than enough for right now.

"As soooooooome of you may have guessed, today we WIIIIIIIIIIILL be building and setting off..." she paused for a moment. "BOTTLE ROCKETS! It is something I aaaaaaaaaaaaaalways wanted to do in my youth but just was never able to. Rather unfortunately really, so I doooo hope you do not mind my working along side you." But of coooooourse they didn't!

She moved behind her desk and waved her wand to remove a Disillusionment Charm she had placed on a large box. "In this box are the rest of the materials you will need to build your bottle rocket. Beeeeeeeeefore you get to doing so, because I see several of you already beginning to do the Potty Dance, please dooooooo take the time to use the rest room. Be sure to clean the inside of your bottle with a Scourgify. First years and those who do not know how to use the charm may wash out their bottle in the restroom."

She paused just long enough to set the box's contents out on the table. "I would like each of you to take a plastic bag, a piece of cardboard, and some dental floss." Which was mint flavored for those wondering. You should use the Severing Charm to cut things. Again, first years and those unsure of themselves should ask help from older students or myself."

She then turned to the board and gave her wand a firm flick. "Instructions for how to construct your rocket are on the board. You may of course add color and decoration if you wish. Just keep in mind that tooooooooo much of a good thing can be bad, darlings." She was just about to step aside when she recalled what she had remembered earlier. "Oh! I almost forgot." She pulled an EMPTY soda bottle out from under her desk and duplicated it with a spell until there were enough for each student. "You will also need one more bottle."

Oops. Hehehehe. Better that they just had to drink one full bottle of soda and not two, yes?

She beeeeeeeamed at the class once more. "I will be walking around and making my own bottle rocket if you have any questions or trouble." OOOOOOOOOOOOOH wasn't this exciting?! "Alright dears, time to become little rocket scientists! Get to it! Of you go!"

OOC: construction of your rocket should take AT LEAST 2 posts to complete for full participation point credit. Quality over quantity dears. Two well thought out posts can be better than many posts if you are creative and having fun! Feel free to interact with each other, but no injuries please. Professor Burbage will not like that very much. You will have at least 48 hours from the time of this post to complete this portion of the activity before we truly blast off. You may include a graphic of your completed rocket if you wish for possible extra credit, but it cannot be an image taken from the internet and MUST be either hand drawn or done in a graphics program.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Professor Burbage by VM or PM. HAVE FUN!

Messer grinned when the Professor showering him in golden sparkles. Golden sparkles. Hehehe. How often did your Professor showered you with that? NEVER!

The third year listened to the other students answers while making some notes here and there. Then when its Professor Burbage time to answer the question, he put his quill down and listened to her very carefully. Oh, the guy name was Goddard not Goldfish. Noted.

BOTTLE ROCKET?! o______O How awesome is that?! First astronomy class this term and they gonna make BOTTLE ROCKET. Teehee!

Now, onto rocket building.

First, he went to the supplies table to get the things he need to make this rocket bottle. After he made sure that he already got everything, Messer went back to his work table and put all the things on his table. Now, he need to cut his bottle. The third year 'Scourgify' both bottles.

Now, onto the cutting. He picked up one soda bottle and laid it on his table. The instruction on the board said that they need to cut 2/3 of the way from the top. Okay. Messer pointed his wand at the bottle "Diffindo!" His eyes glued to his-newly-cut-bottle. Its sliced where it was supposed to and the cut bottle fits over the bottom of the other bottle.
