Assignment #3 - Defining the problem & individual pre-planning.
(Turn-in to the "turn-in" box)
1) Use the following requirements to write what the projects problem in the form of QUESTION:
~ carry an egg-o-naut
~ egg-o-naut and rocket travels into "space" and safely back to earth
~ highest height
~ build a rocket
~ made from recyclable materials
2) After viewing the following video clips (we watched in class), SKETCH YOUR idea what your rocket will look like and label the following -- where is the eggonaut located (payload), materials being used (at least 3), guidance system (fins), propulsion (fuel plan), and recovery systems (parachute??).
3) RESEARCH AND LIST physical properties of at least 3 materials being used on project
example: Glass-- durable, static, absorbs heat (formability), optical properties
