Class: Elk City homeschool group
At STARBASE Weatherford, we had the honor of having Elk City homeschool group in our classroom. Talk about STARS! They each came to us shining and I do believe their lights were definitely energized by the time they left today, Day 5. Thank you parents for the extra effort to add us to your full curriculum schedules!

Day 2 with Ms. Sprague’s 5th grade class from St. John Nepomuk Catholic School was one for the books! 🚀✨
Today at StarBase OKC our cadets had an action-packed day filled with hands-on learning and excitement. They launched rockets while exploring Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, sharpened their math skills with coordinate geometry, and had a blast strategizing during Battle Planes. To wrap up the day, Mr. B shared part of his rock collection, giving students a closer look at some incredible specimens and sparking even more curiosity!
It was a day full of discovery, teamwork, and unforgettable moments. We loved having this amazing group back and can’t wait to see where their day 3 mission takes them next!

**Day 3 with Chouteau School** Midway through our five day tour and **Chouteau students** had too much fun!
Students learned about endothermic and exothermic reactions with our Bubble Trouble and Elephant Toothpaste experiments. 🧪🫣
We had extra exposure to technology and software today by coding Spheros and using ONSITE to explore the functions of our programmed submarine. 💻🖱
With some hot wheels tracks and props, students learned about Newton's laws regarding motion and force. Lots of teamwork by **Chouteau** to see physics in action!💥
