Water Rockets II (Intermediate)

The fun continues and the science becomes more exact. See how to use a video camera and a very unique approach to determine mass, velocity and acceleration of the rockets. Also included are targeting, height and launch angle competitions as well as an exciting attempt to break the sound barrier!

The in-depth teacher handbook covers water rocket safety, suggestions and tips. Lesson plans, diagrams, projects and instructional information cover Newton's laws, finding altitude, using free fall formulas, rocket velocity, the Law of Sines, and Hooke's Law.

View a sample project "Finding Altitude with the Trigonometric Solution" from the teacher handbook.
