12 Teams - 12 Rockets - 12 Launches - 12 "Wows!"

This afternoon was the completion of 5th Grade Rocket Week.  We fired all 12 rockets taking measurements on flight duration and altitude.  The rockets went even higher than expected - we had several that went 260 feet or higher!

Great work 5th graders!  Enjoy your Easter weekend - we will see you back in class on Monday.

We Build 'Em - So We Can Launch 'Em

 Each of twelve 5th grade teams was given a rocket kit to assemble and decorate.

Students learned that rockets are fragile, they have to be built with precision, and they are fun!

Take a look at some of our students putting finishing touches on their rockets!
