Recently, undergraduate students from the Marshall University Astronomy Club (MUAC) and the Marshall University chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) visited kindergarten and second-grade classes at Our Lady of Fatima Parish School here in Huntington, WV. The students in the classes got the chance to observe terrestrial objects through a telescope and witness the conservation of linear momentum via ethanol-powered rockets. Some students even got to feel the conservation of angular momentum just like a spinning figure skater does. Everyone had a blast! Special thanks to the outreach team, Devin Culwell (President MUAC), Tyler Parsons (VP MUAC and SPS member), and Diesel Bryant (SPS member).
