Rockets Project Information and Directions

Today we started the Rockets Project.

There are 5 groups maximum per class.

Rockets Project Information and Directions:

• Save your notes from the WebQuest. You will need them for the final project report. 
• Everyone needs their own project packet. Make sure you read it all. 
• Put your name on it!
• Read the whole thing.
• You will be filling in the notes, questions, calculations and more as you build the rocket. 
• Bring the packet to class every day. 
• Everyone will have to write up their own project report (in their own words) and turn in the packet. Reports will be due by the Final Exam.
• Do not wait until the last minute to start the report. You can work on it as you go through the project and then just finalize it after the launch. 
• Rocket kits go into box top with paper with all team members' names. 
• All equipment gets returned to the front of the room (glue, tape, rulers, etc).
• Make sure tops are tightly closed on glue.
• X-Acto knives get signed out and returned to me. 
• Read all of the instructions carefully before starting any building of the rocket.

Tentative Launch Date: (it is better if you are done earlier and we launch earlier, in case of rain)

Thursday, May 24th. Rain date is Friday, May 25th. 

Also - remember to check PowerSchool to see if you are missing anything.
