Rocket Mania
In this challenge, students will construct rockets made from pipe insulating foam and use them to investigate the trajectory relationship between launch angle and range in a controlled setup. Students will follow the engineering design process to design and build the rocket and will figure out how to improve their design based on testing results and the related theoretical concepts.
This activity should be developed in groups of 3 learners. Teachers should help maintain the motivation of the learners particularly when they are struggling with their concept (the rocket does not move or moves randomly).
