Back to Lab IWater Rocket Project
Lab II
This is a continuation of the Lab 1 activity. Students will design a rocket having a maximum of three (3) fins. (The launcher supports limit the number of fins.) Each rocket will be launched twice. Only the highest of the two rocket heights will count. . The grade given will be based on the height attainment performance of the rocket. That grade will count as an exam grade.
A design grade worth two (2) quiz grades will
also be given. That grade will be based on the following criteria: creative
design which enhances rocket performance and craftsmanship demonstrated in the manufacture
of the rocket. A team of judges will base the score received on a scale of 5 to 2, 5
corresponding to the highest grade of A and 2 to the lowest grade of D.
