Straw Rocket Engineering
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

As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.
Students will create an inclined plane using Pythagorean Theorem and will experiment with rolling objects and try to find a solution to reduce the speed through friction, or air resistance or weight.
Students will first build and collect data on how fast their solar car is. Then students can change items to increase the efficiency of the solar panel to increase the overall speed of the solar car.
