Dolvin Ends School Year With a Blast

Dolvin Elementary students in Mr. Weigand’s fourth-grade class extended their knowledge of force and motion by creating rockets out of two liter bottles powered by air pressure.  After tests flights, students determined the amount of water and pressure to add to their rocket.  Each student then had opportunity to send their rocket into orbit.  Rockets traveled from 50 to 150 feet in the air.  As students were launching rockets, the rest of the class was able to calculate the rockets’ altitudes using tools they created in the classroom.
