1 Triathlon for Period 1 and 3
2 Bottle Water Rocket Activity Day 2
Some notes on this project. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Bright for the use of their air compressor. We should be launching Period 4, 5, and 6 rockets on Monday in left field of the baseball field (where the archery unit gets set up). The test launches today were spectacular. Please refer to that website for instructions. Substituting cereal box cardboard for the plastic folders is recommended for this one launch activity. Regular packing tape can be substituted for strapping tape. Duct tape may be too heavy. The 20 point grading rubric is on the board in class. The team size is 1 to all in a class. We will be working in class on this assignment on Wednesday and Thursday only. Work at home only if you cannot finish in class. This was not designed to be a home assignment. Period 1 and 3 will not get to work on this in class until Monday so this assignment will not be required. If some students build a rocket and have it ready for Monday morning then we will launch them. Extra Credit will be available. Since these will be extra credit, the group size will be limited to 4 and only from your class.
