Rocket Challenge

                                                                                                 Mission Scenarios

 

 

In this unit, the students are given the task to create a paper rocket that has a budget and can lift off the ground.  The students will be competing with other students from other classes to have the lowest budget but the highest flying rocket.

Each of the teams of students will develop a commercial proposal to design, build and launch a paper rocket.  The winning design will have the lowest cost, the best plan and have the largest distance travelled.
