Rocket Launch at Heathcote School

rocket2At the annual fifth grade rocket launch at Heathcote, students built rockets powered by fire, water and air, using recycled soda bottles. They measured the height of the rocket’s trajectory and analyzed it as a function of the amount of water (ml) and air (psi) inside the rocket.

Here are photos of Mr. Deberry’s fifth grade class at the Heathcote Elementary School launching the rockets behind the school.
