Science Is A Blast For Fifth Graders - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Learning hasn't stopped this summer for some fifth graders at Cole Elementary in Antioch.

It's taking them to the stars and beyond.

The children very may become NASA's next employees. For six weeks teams designed and built their own rockets.

The rockets carried eggs. Some launches didn't go up the first time the students tried to send it into the sky.

"It is awesome to see the students participating. This is what I want," said one teacher. "When I see the kids get really fired up about science, math engineering, hopefully they'll remember this. They'll remember that science is fun."
