Water Rocket Project

Water Rocket Criteria - This is a working document. Check for updates.

There will be two parts to this project.

The first part will involve the building and launching of the Water Rocket.
The second part will consist of a detailed diagram, list, steps, calculations, and a conclusion.  The second part will be due sometime (?) after the launch date so you can do the calculations and conclusion based on how your rocket did.

*I have found a rubric that I would like to use.  I am currently working on the rocket restrictions (what can and can't be part of your rocket.) See Rubric Below:
