Beyond plasticine, a voyage into the unknown.
Director's Notes:
Fred has the challenge of making a rocket for his science homework and looks at forces and gravity.
A plasticine animation with real live rocketry action.
SciCast Notes:
You know what I love about this most?
No, not the plasticine models. Nor the water rocket. Not even the crowd of people huddled far off in the distance during the rocket launch, presumably wondering why they were so far away.
No no, what I love about this is the picture on the wall in Fred’s house. Genius.
