Project+Description

=Water Rocket Project=

During this marking period, we will be building water rockets. This is the major project for the 3rd marking period. Rocket launch date January 30th Report Due February 6th

Introduction:
The project will have 2 parts, 1) The construction and flight of the rocket 2) The report on the project.

Grading Information:
• Rocket Construction and flight 100 points • Report on Rocket Project 100 points

Rocket Research, Construction and Flight:
The rocket construction and flight is a group project. You and the members of your lab group will get the same grade for this part of the project.

Goal:
Research, build and test a flight worthy rocket before the launch date of January 30th.

Lab Group
• The group members will be assigned by Dr. Scearce • The group assignments are final. • Your grade will include a portion based on how well your group cooperates with each other.

Research
• Your group will have one (1) class period to begin you research on rocket design. • All further research will need to be done independently (at home or in the library).

Construction
• Your group will have three (3) class periods to complete the construction of the rocket. • Your group will need to bring in the materials necessary for the construction of the rocket. • The completed rocket will need to pass the pre-launch stability test to qualify for launching. • Failure to pass the pre-launch stability test will ground your rocket and result in a grade of a B or less.
