Outline

=**__ Rocket Launch 2011 __**= 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.
 * __ Purpose: __ **
 * __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. 19, Oct. 26, and Nov 2, plus Nov 9th and 10th to launch) The **first launch** will be done on **__Tues. Nov 8th__** during class. The **final launch** will be done on **__Thurs____**. Nov** 10th.__**

The lab should be in hard copy and included in the Wiki. Both the wiki and lab are due: **__Tues____**day Nov**. 15th__**!

Mr. Kapphahn hopes this will be an __uplifting__ experience!
