Your journey into rocketry has now begun. Use the links for Rocket science 101, 102 and 103 to learn about how our project works. During the journey you will answer the questions located in the exit activity. (LISTED In the lower right with PURPLE Font)
Experience the practice of true engineering as you explore the concepts presented in the lessons, experiment with the computer simulation of a water bottle rocket, we will conduct the hands-on experiment, and then compare the computer simulation results with the actual results. You will learn about problem solving--researching a problem, proposing an answer, testing the answer, and analyzing the data produced by the test to figure out if you have the answer or not. Math and science studies are necessary to complete the process . . .they are tools that an engineer uses to solve a problem. When you have the tools, you can attack the problem--that's what engineers do! |
1. Do I have to use water? Why can't I just use pressurized air?
