Leaving the door to the classroom ajar to allow the warm September breeze to flow through the classroom from one of the open windows, Professor Marion Burbage has set up a table next to the door with rows of Muggle soda bottles of various flavors lined up along with empty plastic cups. The professor is currently seated and looking over two photographs that you cannot make out just what of in the front of the classroom.
Beside the display of two-liter pop bottles is a seating chart of the classroom and a note that reads:

OOC: class will not officially begin until several hours from now. Your characters can chat amongst themselves but please try to keep conversation to a minimum.
Class has begun! Please DO NOT announce yourself arriving now and siiiiiiiiimply RP as though you have been here all along.
Cora had been thinking about the laws of motion and physics and got all caught up in the science of it all. Science was so perfect sometimes. Before she knew it, she had missed her chance to answer her professor's question, and she knew the answers to these ones...finally! She quickly scrambled to collect her rocket and her things, grabbing it all at once.
However, Cora's clumsiness could not go unnoticed for an entire day. She promptly spilled her notes, books, and rocket all over the place. Sighing, she went to pick p her things so she could head out of the classroom.
They were leaving.... already? Merlin, Selina was not prepared for this quite yet. She was admiring her bat too much to want to locate it somewhere else. However, it seemed that she did not have a choice. So the redhead collected her things, went to the door and followed Professor Burbage down the hall.
Oooh field trip? This was definitely taking an... interesting turn! Seeing the Professor put the sunnies on Angel couldn't help looking at them, they were amazingly cool!
Still, she held all that in and just following Professor Burbage to wherever it was that she was leading all of them!

West was all thinky. The last question made him have an oh hummmm moment. He picked up his rocket though and headed outside, still thinking about and puzzling through a thought.

Terry grinned when he heard that he got the answer right. He was pleased, Astronomy wasn't the easiest subject to master and so far he hadn't been doing so badly. He went to scribble down a few notes, just so he could remember what he had been taught later on when he read them back but the Professor seemed to have been in a hurry, they were going out?
He packed his notepad and quill back into his bag and flung it to rest over his shoulder. He had already cleaned up his workspace and so he looked at it, satisfied that he had done enough. He picked up the bottle rocket and followed the Professor to the front of the classroom.
Were they actually allowed to launch their rockets? This was going to be so cool!

And with that, they are now going to leave. Cool. Are they going to try this rocket out and see if the law of Newton applies or something like that? Juliet still is a bit confused with the whole law stuff. She can grasp some of it but as a whole it was just confusing.
She gathered up all her things and made sure that she had nothing left on the table. She stood up and took her stuff with her, ready to go out. WOOT. Time for some field trip. See? This is why Hogwarts is more awesome. Back in her old school, the teachers would prefer them doing stuff inside the school, it was a lady-thing to do... Pffft. Not on her watch.
Juliet followed the professor. So where exactly are they going?

Of course she should have seen some students going much deeper than she had intended the discussion to go - bringing in other variables and conditions that would influence the behavior of their bottle rockets and Newton's laws. Her purpose had been to create a very basic picture and understanding of how the laws of motion were linked to, well, what they were about to do.
"Very good my darlings, very good inDEED! The first statement there iiiiiiiiiiis best paired with Newton's third law of motion and the second statement with his second law of motion. The key word here is best, dears. Of course all the laws are interconnected someway and all have influence on a rocket's flight, so none of you are exaaaaaaaactly incorrect in your thinking." Hopefully they had all been paying attention to what their classmates had been saying because there had been some fantaaaaaastic answers in there. Marion checked her sparkly gold watch on her wrist for a moment, eager to go into a little more explanation when she GASPED. "Oh goodnees gracious hEAvens! Darlings! ," she chirped with a slight wiggle of her bottom as she scurried around to the back of her desk and grabbed her bottle rocket and a pair of expensive looking sunglasses. "Weeeeeeeeeee are going on a bit of a field trip. If you could please bring your things and bottle rockets with you and follow me. We will not be returning to the classroom, so dooooooon't leave anything behind."
She then slipped her sunglasses on and headed towards the door of the classroom. "Please form a line, dears."
Okay. So the perkiness was starting to get a tad annoying, but on the bright side, this class still wasn't as bad as Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. Sierra could barely sit through an hour of learning those two, and at least they were designing and decorating in here.
She gathered all her things, taking care not to destroy her bottle rocket, and then followed the line of students heading for the door.

Ho ho ho ho.
"Alright, darlings! If you could please follow me!"
And with that she gave another excited wiggle and began to lead the way out of the classroom and down the corridor.
OOC: Holy Orion's Belt.
Sierra had to bite her bottom lip to keep from laughing out loud at the professor. She was amusing, that one was. She shook her head then headed out the door.
Zack quickly completed his activity which he wasn't sure about at all. All he knew that he couldn't get proper sleep last night and so he only had one thing in his mind that was sleep which was no fault of the professor as he could see how excited the professor was sounding and that all made him even more sleepy. Sleepily he took his bottle which he thought was good enough for the activity half way making his bottle he was asleep. But still he could manage with what ever he had done. He got up from his place and began following the class. Hoping walking would make him more active.

FEILD TRIP!! Ariana jumped up from her seat grabbing her rocket and her bag which just smelled weird now and followed the professor and the rest of class outside
Eliza was really quite puzzled on most of those questions. She was usually very studious, but obviously had a lot to learn in Astronomy. Feeling a bit disappointed in herself, she gathered her items and followed the class to the field trip. "I suppose if I knew all the answers I wouldn't need to take the class" she told herself reassuringly.

OOC: Please RP your student getting their things together and meeting Professor Burbage at the door. I will post again soon with further instructions. Even if you were unable to complete the RPing portion of making your rocket you CAN simply pretend that your character finished building it and continue to play.

Dylan reluctantly wrote down what was being said by his classmates cause he really didn't want to know all that mumbo jumbo he just wanted to launch his rocket. But he wrote it down anyways just in case the professor noted that he was not writing, he then realised that he could use these notes in making many more rockets so he wrote down as much as he could cause he was most certainly going to make more rockets that was for sure!
He then was very interested in listening to what the professor was saying cause she just said the magical words, FIELD TRIP! They were actually going on a field trip? oh this is the part that he was so looking forward to going out and launching the rocket that he had just made. He then watched as she walked towards the door, he knew that she was serious now they were actually going to going on a field trip
He then picked up his bag and rocket and walked towards the door and stood in line ready to go out on that field trip, now it was nearly time to go out and he couldnt wait to walk out that door. He then watched as the professor banged her head on the door frame, he chuckled behind his hand so that she wouldn't hear him laughing at the fact that she had hit her head and kind of made a fool of herself. He watched as she rubbed her head before telling them to follow her, did she have to wiggle like that? it seemed like it.. oh wells. He then followed her out of the class and down the corridor to where their field trip was.

Harvey listened to the professor as he continued writing down some of the answers that he had heard his class mates say taking notes of what had been said. Cause he knew all that had been said was very good and would be used when launching his rocket, being a muggle-born he had heard about Newton's laws and things and how they helped with many things. He smiled as the professor said that they were going to be going on a field trip, he knew that this was going to be a fun field trip now and he was sure that it would mean that they would be launching these rockets. He then grabbed his bag and bottle rocket and stood in line to follow the professor out of the classroom, he then looked in surprise and concern as the professor somehow managed to smack her head on the door frame. That was going to hurt for a few days that was for sure, he hoped that the professor would be ok. He then followed the professor out the classroom and down the corridor to the next part of their lesson.
