WOW - what a week! Algonquin College on Monday, St. Brigid on Thursday, and on Friday we joined the grade 6 classes together to build and test rockets! Using the dependent variable of "flight time", students brainstormed a variety of different independent variables that they could test. Some of these included: height of nose cone, amount of water, amount of pressure, number of fins, and size of fins.
Each group tested one variable and recorded their results. We will be analysing these results next week.
Below is a short collection of photos and videos taken at today's launch.
