Rocket Science... no seriously
During this experiment, we were instructed to, in groups of two, construct a rocket of our own design out of plastic bottles. We spent two weeks cutting and gluing bottles together, then exhibited our work at a rocket launch.

Cat Can Lab
Objective: use velocity, distance, and hang time to calculate where a metal ball bearing was sent down a ramp at three different heights. If your numbers were correct, the ball bearing should have landed inside the cat can that was placed on the floor.
