Rocket Launch Algebra 2
by Lisa Mills
In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on manufactures specifications, calculate the maximum velocity using trigonometric functions and calculate the height of the rocket based on experimental time data.
