8th Grade Science: 3 2 1 Blast Off!

Middle School Engineering: Rocket Design

Demonstrate Understanding:

Students needed to evaluate a rocket design using a systematic process (Scientific Method) and change two variables to determine how well they meet the criteria of flight (Research).

Disciplinary Core Idea:

 How well did their design meet their expectations.  What went well?  What didn't go well?  and Why?

We all had a BLAST!

Today was "Lift Off" to test their designs.  The 8th graders since the beginning of the school had fun designing and engineering rockets.  Their objective was to maintain the greatest flight time without using a parachute.

Results
Winner with best design and time (13.55s):  Ben Sides
Best Times: Kate Spindle (14.35s), Jean Wilk (14.01s) and Dana Hundrieser (13.44s)
Best Short Rocket Design: Thomas DeMastri (9.67s)
Best Different Designs: Penelope Sotos, Jake Aks, and Sam Harris-Watts

Congratulations to all!

Office Hours: Tuesday from 3:30 -4:30.
