The Rocket Project
In this project, students had to design a rocket out of an old film container. They used different temperatures of water and Alka-Seltzer to make the rocket go off. Our group followed the problem-solving process and made a design matrix to figure out the best way to design our rocket was. We also had to work with limited resources. We only had tape, a film canister, and paper to build our rocket.
