There are three major projects that will be completed during the year:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Students will build a rocket out of a 2 Liter bottle and other resources. The rockets will be launched and will be graded on construction, answers to questions, and how far the rocket flies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Catapults will be constructed at home. There are strict requirements for how the catapult is constructed. They may use wood and many different resources to build the catapult. The students will be graded on construction, questions that will be answered, and how far it catapults an egg. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Also, bridges will be built and tested. They will spend time in the computer lab researching types of bridges. The students will work on their bridges in class and will have to answer questions about them. |  |
