1. Fall Culmination Project

2. What do the components look like?
Component 1: History of Rockets
Component 2: Rocket Companies/ Business Plan
Component 3: Rocket Construction
Component 4: Rocket Analysis/Redesign
Component 5: Design Inclinometer
Component 6: Launch
Component 7: Culmination

3. Component 1: History of Rockets
We are starting this week.
You and your group will be assigned an area of history to study and gather research on.
You will need to know the information for your presentation day.

4. Component 2: Rocket Companies/Budget
You will be assigned a group and you will need to form an engineering company.
In the company you will each have a role to play.
Create a budget to build your rocket. Create a budget so that you can build and buy rocket fuel.
You will be drawing a sketch, scale drawing, begin digital rendering of rocket, and develop your budget.

5. Component 3: Rocket Construction
Learn about how rockets work (Physics)
Newton’s Laws
Construct according to budget

6. Component 4: Rocket Analysis/ Redesign
Center of Mass/ Center of Pressure Test
Swing Test
Redesign (Think about your budget that’s why you don’t want to spend it all the first time)

7. Component 5:Design Inclinometer
Altitude Tracking Test

8. Component 6: Launch/Analyze data
Launching Rocket
Complete post launch results (calculations to determine altitude)

9. Component 7: Culmination
Design Board (You will have everything done to be put on your board at this point. You will just need to create the board)
Practice Essential Questions
