Science Class Rocket Projectiles
by: Megan Adkins
Mr. Grady’s 2nd Annual Rocket launch is a soaring success!
The eighth graders are getting a new view on things. It’s spacey!
While Mr. Grady’s eighth grade science class explores the application on force in common objects, they built water propelled bottle rockets.
The class was divided into groups of four and each team was given a two liter bottle in which to make their rocket. They took a common two liter bottle and designed the outside however they thought it would best perform.
The bottles were then filled about half full with water and placed upside down on the launcher.
Air was pumped into the bottle and when the pressure was built up... a member of the team would release the bottle and send it soaring into the sky. It was a wet-n-wild trip!
