ROCKET SCIENCE 101

1
ROCKET SCIENCE 101

• We will design and build a water ROCKET

2
The Task at Hand

• Students will work in groups of three
• Students will use the Web to research sites that
• Theory of flight
• Rocket design
• Construction of rocket
• Students will construct and test their rocket
  design
• Students will present and fire their rocket

3
The Process

• First you will be ASSIGNED to a flight team of
  engineers
• Each member takes a role on the team
• Design Engineer
• Construction Engineer
• Flight Engineer
• Team will design and build their rocket together
• Team will present their design, construction
• and flight data to class
• 5. Team will fire their rocket and collect
  data

4
Evaluation

• The students performance will be evaluated both
  on their individual work and that as a team
  member

5
Conclusion

• The most difficult part of the challenge is now
  behind you. You have completed your engineering
  problem and hopefully gained some useful
  knowledge in the process.
• Now is is time to put this new-found knowledge to
  good use in future challenges
