Shimek Students Launch Weather Balloons, April 25, 2014
Shimek 5th-grader Andrew McClaflin and U of Iowa student Crystal Rodger release the weather balloon as Iowa student Taylor Stewart and Shimek student Nolan Case 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)
