Science 2/10/2012

We've been studying Newton's Laws of Motion. Students are making water bottle rockets as a final project. We plan on  launching next Friday (the 17th,  as the weather is predicted to be fair that day.) I'll post more pictures after the launch.


Supplies


Creating a fin pattern

Bottle, bottle, which bottle should I use?

Laying out a nosecone.

Ensuring a tight fit for proper pressurization.
Hot glue assembly.


Can you believe this is going to be a parachute?

Student garantees it will be "the best!"
