The class will make straw rockets and launch them with LEGO pneumatics.
We are trying to discover which angle would be best for the longest distance.

It took a while to try out different designs.
We had a great discussion of what variables made a difference.
Then we tried all of the rockets at 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees.
We got a great variety of distances.
Now that she has organized so well it is going to be great to find
any needed piece.
