I've been starting to use my Twitter account more frequently and am realizing there are so many great ideas for the classroom out there. One idea and template from Alice Keeler was for a collaborative Google Slide where students created a vocabulary meme. They really had fun with it and showed their creative sides!
I hope you heard about this launch.
The Falcon Heavy can lift 141,000 lbs into orbit.
It is designed to have the engines return to Earth in order to be reused. Two of the 3 engines made it back for perfect landings. The third was unfortunately lost at sea.
There is now a red Tesla car driven by "Spaceman" on it's way to Mars (or the asteroid belt if the trajectory was a bit off).
