Challenge #4: Final Challenge!
This project will be scored for a grade; consider this your final exam
For this challenge, choose ONE of the following questions to answer:
1. How can a rocket be designed to carry a passenger up and down safely?
--Build a water rocket that carries a raw egg 30 feet up--and down!--without breaking the egg.
2. How does fin design affect a rocket's flight path?
3. How can the tail of a rocket be modified so that it flies higher than 30 feet?
--Build a water rocket with a tail design that carries the rocket higher than 30 feet using a maximum
of 40 psi.
4. Your choice--have a question (that will not violate any ethical or safety rules) you want answered about your rocket? Run it by Mrs. E!
Check out this Diigo list for resources you can use when researching your "Need to knows." You are expected to do further research; this list is just to help get you started.
Some Reminders:
A. See the rubric for how you will be scored. REMEMBER, YOUR SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION & ANALYSIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE WRITE-UP. Don't forget to make connections between many science concepts to explain your data, as well as use the equations for the science concepts to help explain your data.
B. Work collaboratively in your team--only one write-up per team should be shared with Mrs. E. If, after viewing the revision history in Google Docs, it looks like you didn't do much, you will receive an F for the project. Every group member should participate in every part of the write-up.
C. The final lab write-up should be shared by the end of the period on July 7th. Final scores will be in Edmodo by July 14th.
