Houghton College Science Honors

This semester in Science Honors we're starting to work on our weather balloons. We will be keeping this page updated as we move along with our project.

Look at us making the blog!

After a whole semester of learning about weather patterns and climate change, we're finally starting to brainstorm about how we are going to do our project. This semester we will be making weather balloons that record data and beam it wirelessly back to our computers on the ground. The eleven of us in Science Honors at Houghton College have formed three groups that will each be making their own balloon. Even though we won't actually be doing much physical work on the balloons until next semester, we've started brainstorming about the design of the balloon and programming.

  1. The fish hatchery feeding buckets inspired me. If we put oranges in a bucket and place a push bar in Paine 212 to deliver on demand, we should free up Science Honors faculty to teach in other classes...

    Thanks for the blog!
