The Effects of Payload Mass on a Rocket
Students will construct a rocket by exploring the relationship of the mass in the nose cone to the success of a launch. Students will learn about "center of mass' and how to find it, as well as the effects drag has on the rocket's stability. Students will try different weights inside of the cone, each time launching them into the sky. In the end, the students will be able to communicate how the weight of the nose cone impacts the motion of the rocket.
