rocket frogsYou know at school when you make a rocket from a 2 litre bottle, a bicycle valve, a cork and a footpump ? Well, we made one in the summer holidays once, but instead of using a footpump we used my Dads compressor for spraying cars.
The rockets went a very long way but after a while we got bored. It was decided that we'd make a little frog compartment and use the mass of frogs from our pond and launch them into space.
It worked a treat and most of them survived. Then again, some of them got taken by the wind and our neighbours where probably finding plastic bottles with frogs in cardboard containers :)
