Here is a pretty cool science lesson that ended up making national news (click on images for more information). Some children in Lancashire sent a toy dog, Sam, into space attached to a helium balloon and a camera. Unfortunately, although they got some great photos, Sam ended up on an unexpected adventure when he became detached from the camera and the balloon; he is now missing in action! Keep your eyes open for a space-dog!
