Shimek Students Launch Weather Balloons, April 25, 2014
Shimek Elementary students Jeremiah Collins and Ilario Balestrieri-Fox assist Iowa student Crystal Rodger as she attaches the GoPro camera to the box to be sent in the air as Shimek students Andrew McClaflin and Taylor Stewart look on at the School of The Wild’s Bluestem Shelter at Macbride Nature Recreation Area on Friday, April 25, 2014. 13 elementary education methods students worked with UI graduate Kami Skay’s Shimek Elementary fifth graders earlier this week to design and build helium weather balloons that carried cameras high into the sky to measure the curvature of the earth.(Justin Torner/Freelance for the Gazette)
