Water Rockets III (Advanced)

Take it to the limit! Use rockets with different diameter nozzles. Find velocity and acceleration with a smart pulley computer interface. Measure air resistance and study Hooke's law with simple accelerometer. Also see many unique vehicles such as the five engine rocket, a night launch with glow sticks, and many other design variations. Use this video to spark the imagainative and creative ability in your students!

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.
