Rocketry -- Launch #1

It was an exciting afternoon at Heathcote School! The rocketry teams in our class launched their first rocket iterations with some pretty interesting results.

This fantastic project combined design process learning along with research around Newton's Laws of Motion. Students were required to investigate the three laws as they applied to launching paper rockets. Based on their learning, they were able to plan, design, and build the rockets they launched today. After collecting data, they will discuss and troubleshoot plans for a second iteration for next week.

I was so proud of how our class cheered each other on. Every group recognized the contributions of all and inspired classmates to imagine even more impressive results for our next launch. Our successes were class successes, and any challenges we encountered were met by the entire group.
We move forward by helping each other!

I look forward to seeing what our second launch brings!
