Resources for the Rocket Project

With progress reports being extended, and many students being away for the supreme court on thursday, we are moving this project to being due at the end of class on the 14th or 17th of October, whichever day we have class.

Makeup Rocket Launches will be available Friday during intervention for those that need them.

With most of the actual work done for the project (building rockets, doing experiments, collecting data) , students now need to complete the calculations and other activities that go with it. To help with that, we have the following resources:

How to do a Scale Drawing

Graphing.

Graphs of position vs time as they relate to speed.

More advanced Mathmatical version with humorous cartoon characters.

Very thorough video on graphing velocity vs time and speed vs time.
(10 minutes).


How to calculate the speed of a falling object

How to calculate distance a falling object travels based on time.



How to calculate acceleration and speed (uses a fun example with dune buggies).
