My two grandsons ages 9 & 12 took this class for the 2nd year in a row. They enjoyed the daily classes & liked bringing home projects and/or games each day. However, the theme all week was that Friday was the big day, as they were to shoot off their rockets out on the school yard. They each brought home a rocket on Thursday and to make sure that they didn't need to bring it back on Friday in order to shoot it, we asked the girl in charge of the class, if they needed to bring them back on Friday to shoot. The answer was "Oh no you don't need to bring them back. We have plenty of rockets." Friday they put on their Mad Science shirt, which they saved all week for the rocket launch. When I walked them to school, I checked with the teacher & was told "We'll shoot the rockets at 11:30, play a game & then class will be over. That isn't how it was. After class I learned that only one (1) rocket was shot & no game was played. It was a real let down after a week of fun & anticipation.
