“Is that a cannonball?” ask Clara.
“Yes, Maria. Galileo threw cannonballs from the bell tower when he did this experiment. Throw it down and we will time it’s decent.”
I shrugged. This was unreal. Schools don’t normally allow such cool things like this. I was so excited I missed that he heard Clara and answered her. I threw the ball from the bell tower.
“Two point five seconds,” he said and wrote it down. He handed me a golfball.
“Two point five seconds.” A whiffle ball.
“Two point five seconds.” A paratrooper toy. I threw down the paratrooper toy. It was just like a regular GI Joe toy, but this one had a plastic parachute. The parachute filled and it went to the ground.
“Ten seconds.” He handed me an ostrich feather.
“Twenty seconds. That’s the last thing.”
“I wish we could through Amy from this tower,” I said.
“Bailey, don’t,” said Clara.
