Completion requirements
In this activity, students will:
- Work individually or in teams of two to construct and launch paper rockets using a teacher-built PVC-pipe launcher.
- Following the flight of their rocket, calculate the altitude their rocket achieved.
- Based on the flight performance of their rockets, analyze their rocket designs, modify or rebuild them, launch again, and calculate the altitude achieved to determine if their changes affected the performance of the rocket.
- Conclude the activity by writing a post-flight mission report.
