Payload Rockets and the Engineering Design Process
by Misty Schreiber
During this activity students will build a payload rocket from pieces. After building the rocket, students will use the EDP to create a cargo carrier that holds an egg. This is placed in the rocket and then launched. A successful launch includes a launch, deployment of a parachute, and a landing where the egg is unharmed (no cracks).
