Revised Dates and information on sharing your Rocket Experiment results.

So, we had some technical difficulties with our launches on Friday. Real science, as opposed to simply reading about science, is like that. Scientists constantly have to cope with equipment that breaks, data that contains errors, bad weather, etc. We'll retool the launchers and try again of course. Persistence is the key to success in science, as in anything. However, this will require some changes to our planned schedule.

So we'll move everything back a bit.

Your group's report on the variable they were studying is due September 20th/21st (edited) (whichever day we have class). We will use the standard Hall-Dale HS lab report rubric. You can find that HERE. Each member of the group will be assigned part of the rubric to cover. This is good practice for when you'll have to write your own.

Your first personal rocket will be launched on September 26th/27

Final launch day will be October 3/4, with reflections also due that day.

More information on the requirements for your personal rocket will be available after the Lab Report posters are finished.
