High-Altitude Ballooning is a great STEM investigation!
With the help of Dr. Paul Adams of FHSU and some of his physics students, I received some training on deploying high-altitude balloons (aka weather balloons) with payloads dangling below. Students will find this to be an exciting way to use technology in physics and engineering applications. Check out the short video I made for my maiden flight. While we still have some work to do figuring out how to reliably collect data using Vernier equipment, we did have success with the camera.
