Straw Rockets AND the Scientific Method

Last week our students designed their own straw rocket. The goal was to have the students create their own experiment. We worked through the scientific method and collected our data. Students were surprised at some of the data.

Ofcourse after our experiments we had a chance to challenge other rockets... I had winners in each homeroom. I took the four winners to the DQ for their reward. We all had a great time.

THIS WEEK IS MEAP!!!!!!!!! TIME TO SHOW THAT TEST WE MEAN BUSINESS!!!!
