Project HALO (High ALtitude Observation)

This video was recorded by the student-designed weather balloon. 
This is an annual project in Adam's physics class since 2012.

In the spring semester Physics II classes, Adam's students design a capsule to hold a Go Pro camera, a PASCO weather probe, and a SPOT GPS Messenger along with other experimental equipment. Once the capsule is built, it is launched with a weather balloon. Adam and co-worker Daniel Reed go and retreive the capsule wherever it lands. Students then process the weather data and videos for their own projects.
