UCLA vs USC

This is how we treat our Trojan Counselor.

...Almost there, seconds before blast off...

...success...

...a closer look...

...the aftermath (after Math)... 

...agitating the mixture of 1 to 1 vinegar and water. ..
...corking it to trap the energy...

...Blast Off!!!...
...The mixture created enough energy and force to project the cork...

...Dud...
...This one did not work...
...Do you know why?...

...It did not work, because the cork was pourous and released the pressure which in turn did not allow the cork to be projected...

 

Blast-off to Energy

...Setting up for Energy Lab...

...Writing out our notes and procedures...

...organizing our predictions...
