Hello Kitty Goes to Space

For our Fun Friday post this week, I am sharing with you two videos recommended to me by some of my colleagues.  The first video was created by a 7th grader for a Science Fair project in which she sent a rocket equipped with cameras (and a “Hello Kitty” doll who just happened to “fit perfectly”) very high.  The second video, which you can visit here,  is an interview with the young lady from ABC news.  Quite honestly, I thought the first video was a fake until I saw the interview.  This 7th grader is very mature, and I think your students might find her pretty inspiring.  Here is a quietube link to the first video in case you would like to show it without all of the YouTube distractions.
