Kinkaid eighth grade science students participated in a rocket launch outside on Thursday and Friday, October 16th & 17th, 2014. The skies were clear, and the weather was nice outside during these two days.
The students modeled their designs using rocket simulation software prior to building and launching. They then assembled their rockets from parts rather than building from kits as in previous years. The students then measured the height of the rockets after launch. Lastly, the students discussed some variables that led to more successful rocket launches.
