MOUNT ARARAT MIDDLE SCHOOL WATER BOTTLE ROCKETEERS


On October 16, 2014 twenty-three middle school students made water rockets from 2 liter soda bottles.
The results of their launch are listed below. The day was overcast with mild wind. Observation site was 100 feet away. Pumped to 50 psi.

After the bottle launch, paper stomp rockets were launched. Although no actual measuring was done, it appeared that some of the paper rockets exceeded the 88 foot height attained by the bottle rockets

4-H NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY FEATURES ROCKETRY

On October 8th the 4-H will be doing an experiment with rockets. For more information see the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CAesuKbTRA&feature=youtu.be

4-H National Youth Science Day (NYSD) is an exciting, interactive learning experience that engages thousands of youth across the country in conducting the National Science Experiment. The University of Arizona developed the 2014 National Science Experiment, Rockets to the Rescue!, which explores the field of aerospace engineering.

To Purchase this kit visit the 4-H Mall http://www.4-hmall.org/Product/educat... 

This year, youth will be tasked with the same mission: in light of the recent natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan, National 4-H Council is asking youth to design and build an aerodynamic food transportation device that can deliver a payload of nutritious food to disaster victims. Youth will learn engineering concepts, develop math skills, learn about nutrition and help solve a relevant, global issue.

WILLIAMS-CONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SUMMER CAMP

The campers made paper rockets for a 2 liter stump rocket launcher. Most of the rockets reached about 60 feet. One actually went over 110 feet - a really great jumper!

PHILIP W. SUGG MIDDLE SCHOOL LAUNCHES WATER ROCKETS



This Lisbon Falls middle school built water bottles and launched them. It was a very windy day and some of the bottles had too much water in them. There they did not reach any great heights. The stomp paper rocket reached 100 feet because it had less surface area to catch the wind. The small Estes rocket went out of sight and was blown to an undetermined location and never found.
