FREEPORT ROCKETS WHEN THE RAIN HALTED FOR AN HOUR



We made paper stomp rockets while it rained outside. Then we tried launching them in the gym, but then the rain stopped so we went outside. There was an occasional light breeze. One rocketeer got his rocket to 100 feet in a nice straight ascent and descent.

MT ARARAT LAUNCHES PAPER ROCKETS ON A BREEZY DAY


Twenty-one students from Mt Ararat Middle School in Topsham, Maine made paper rockets that really flew very high, but the breeze made the actual heights inaccurate.
We wanted to see if 1 penny or two would go higher. Unfortunately, the varying breeze made
the measurements inaccurate.
