Project+Outline

= **__ Rocket Launch 2010 __** =

__ Purpose: __ The purpose of this project is to examine some of the major concepts that we have studied in Physics 30. through the use of a model rocket. Each group must design and launch their model rocket. __Each group__ must create a “wiki” outlining the process they went through to build their rocket. A thorough lab should be included in the wiki using their data from the launch. (Include the following headings: Purpose, Materials, Procedure, Data, Analysis, Sources of Error, and Conclusion.)

__ Materials __ : (per group) - one model rocket, two engines, storage box, utility knife, glue, scissors, paint, sandpaper, and a copy of the student book information sheets. //Students using rocket kits or manufactured parts (nosecones, fins etc) will reduce the creativity mark. Recovery systems must deploy externally.//

__ Timeline __ : The groups will receive the equivalent of **//3//** periods to build, paint, and apply finishing touches to the rocket. (Periods of Oct. 22, Oct. 29, and Nov 5, plus Nov 9th and 10th to launch) The **first launch** will be done as individual Physics classes on **__Tues. Nov 9th__** during class. The **final launch** will be done as a combined group on **__Weds. Nov 10th at lunch.__**

The lab and should be in hard copy and included in the Wiki. These are due: **__Monday Nov. 15th__**!

Mr. Kapphahn hopes this will be an __uplifting__ experience! HOME
