FREEPORT SCIENCE CLUB REACHES HEIGHTS
Of the eighteen water bottle rocketeers, three of their bottle reached 100 feet. Two rocketeers achieved excellent hieght with the stomp rockets. This is the only time that the Estes rocket was recovered. A good fun time was had by all. Newton's three laws of motion had a great demonstration.
