ROCKET WEEK - DAY 2 !

To maximize time in flight for a model rocket do you use a larger (and heavier) recovery system or do you instead use a smaller, lighter (but less effective) recovery system.  That is exactly the problem that our 5th grade Science students will evaluate this week using the Scientific Method.  On Thursday, we will launch 12 rockets, recover them, and take measurements to determine the best approach.

YES - WE ARE ROCKET SCIENTISTS !!
