Science! (Period 7, Thursday)

The fact that Ms Frizzle's dress today was camouflage-print and a WWII-era helmet perched on top of her frizzy curls might have been slightly less worrying if not for the stack of blueprints of what looked like heavy artillery on the lab bench in front of her. But first . . .

"Hello, class!" Clap hands together. "Oh, I've missed you! I am very sorry for having been away for so long, but I've heard that the substitutes did very well and you all behaved!" Stand en pointe for no apparent reason. "And I hope you've all been thinking about your projects for the science fair, because it is the week after next If you need any help, remember that you can come see me in the lab on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday!" She bounced forward, her helmet slipping to the side, and quickly righted it.

"As you'll remember, class, we were talking about forces and motion at the beginning of the year. Today, you'll get to put some of those ideas into practice! We're building marshmallow shooters!" She gestured at the stack of blueprints. "I have several ideas to get you starts off. You can use air pressure, you can build a trebuchet, a slingshot, anything at all that will fire a marshmallow any great distance. Work together to come up with more ideas. And when you're ready, see Liz for some ammo and then let 'er fly! WAHOO!"

Chad started making some idle sketches that mostly looked like trebuchets, but his concerns settled mostly into the fact that, as an already easy target, the bunny ears probably weren't gonna help him out.
