1)We need to write a persuasive  letter to Mr. Jimenez.
2)Figure out what is going to go in the ping pong ball thingys.
3)FYI this is a website we might need  it is also on google classroom www.highaltitudescience.com
4) have someone (this person is not me) call airports and tell them that we are launching a weather balloon.
5) read the whole ENTIRE book about the weather balloon or something.(You know what I mean)

We need to find out what we will put  in the ping pong  thing amabobs. (Me) Call the airports.

We need  to contact the airports nearby and also we need to decide what the payload will have. We will need to find where we will get the helium from.

1. We need to find helium for the balloon so we can fill it up.
2.  We need to tell the two/ three airports  about us launching the weather balloon
3. Look at the balloon to make sure it came safe and sound
4. We need the payload in the ping pong  balls
5. We need to know what time we need to send the balloon up so we can tell the airports.
6. We need to tell others so they can see the weather balloon go up.

1. Educating Ourselves
a. Reading the High Altitude     booklet
b. Looking at websites
c. talking to the news station

7. We need leytex gloves
8.  Last of all, WE NEED TO HAVE FUN!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
First we need to learn how to control yourself. second we need to decide what to send up with the weather balloon. third find out how big it is going to be and read the laws for a weather balloon.

# data[].attributes.body
1. We need to make sure that we have everything that we will need for our payload.
2. We also need to figure out where we are going to find our helium.
3. We need to make sure that we have the right amount of helium, for the size of the balloon.
3. We need to make sure that all of the things that we are putting on the base are secure before the launch.
4. We also need to decide what our payload will  be.
5. We need to contact our local airports. We probably need to contact the South Bend airport, the airport in Goshen, and the Elkhart6 airport, just so they know that we are sending up a weather balloon.
6. The airports will also need to know what date and the time we are sending up the weather balloon so we can work things out with their flight schedule.
7. We will also need to all be thinking about how we want to decorate the base.
8. We will also need to keep looking for information about laws that we will need to follow to send the weather balloon up.
9. When we have decided what our payload will be we need to figure out the weight of all of the things we are sending up, including the ping pong balls.
10. We will need to make sure that we get everything accomplished by the launch date. We will need to

# data[].attributes.body
Get an unpopped (weather) balloon. We need to contact airport(s) to let them know that we are sending up a weather balloon.We need to kno how weather balloons really work.(See the site.) WE NEED TO HAVE FUN! We need to have  latex gloves.
Are we going to use last years ping-pong balls.

At an isolated weather station in the central United States, a technician emerges from a small brick shed grasping a balloon. It's not just any birthday party balloon, mind you, but a massive, white sphere more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) in diameter. Filled with more than 300 cubic feet (8.5 cubic meters) of helium gas, the enormous balloon tugs against the scientist's hand with a force of about four pounds. In the other hand, the scientist grasps a radiosonde, a lightweight cardboard box filled with scientific instruments that's tied to the bottom of the balloon. Striding out into an empty clearing, he gently releases the balloon and radiosonde.

As the balloon hurtles away from the Earth, the radiosonde is already hard at work, beaming atmospheric information back to data centers.

After an hour, the balloon has ascended to almost 100,000 feet (30,480 meters). This is the stratosphere, the second-to-last atmospheric layer before outer space. Below, the Earth's features are obscured by a thick layer of cloud. Above, the blue sky has faded to dark black. It's a beautiful sight, one only seen by a handful of astronauts and test pilots.

For the balloon, these breathtaking views will be its last moments. All throughout its ascent, the balloon has been expanding. It may have started out modestly, but now, at almost 18 miles (29 kilometers) high, the balloon has swelled to the size of a moving truck. Stretched to its limit, the balloon's thin synthetic rubber bursts and sends the tiny radiosonde plummeting back toward Earth. Within seconds, the wind catches a small, orange parachute and slows the device's descent. Hours later -- and hundreds of miles from where it first lifted off -- the weather balloon touches the ground.

Each day, hundreds of weather balloons around the world undertake this dramatic, near-space voyage. More than 70 years after scientists sent up the first experimental weather balloon, they remain the workhorses of modern meteorological forecasts. Whether it's a tornado warning or the weather report on the 6 o'clock news, weather balloons are what keep people on the ground tuned in to the meteorological workings of the upper atmosphere.

What kind of information does a weather balloon collect, and how does it accomplish this feat? Read on to find out.

We will need to get everyone outside, then make sure we have the helium, than make sure to look at the balloon to see if there's any holes.

1.  we will need to see what the weather will be for that day so we can be sure when we launch the weather balloon.
2. We will have to contact airports and tell them about us launching the weather balloon.
3. we will need to know the air speed and direction.
4.  If you got to www.airgas.com/helium you can find helium for our balloon.
5. Also We need to find out what to  put in our ping pong balls in space.
