FREEPORT HARRISON MIDDLE SCHOOL LAUNCHES AIR BOTTLE ROCKETS


After putting together their bottle rockets, the rocketeers launched their bottles at 50 psi. Sam's bottle got to 63' followed by Willet's at 51'. Then they launched the paper stomp rockets which surprised them because they all went much higher than the air bottle rockets.
