Straw Rocket Engineering
by Debbie Everett
Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will:
Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff
Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans
Build and launch our rockets
Measure and record data about the flight
Collaborate and communicate effectively with others
