Knowing that a football's spin makes the ball not tumble through the air, we wanted to test whether slanted fins would increase the height of our paper rockets. Although our sample is way too small and our variables many, it does appear that there is no noticeable effect. This may be do to the fact that all of the rockets launched vertically and were quite stable.

Aiden got his paper stomp rocket the highest at 115 feet. This may be due to the fact that he had the greatest mass and a good jump. Everyone had fun and got a chance to apply Newton's Laws of Motion.
