Water Bottle Rocket Project
You goal is to design, engineer and build a water bottle rocket that will be airborne for a minimum of 10 seconds. Your group will also be documenting your design and build process on your team blog (see Blog page). You will use multiple methods to document your design, engineering and launching of your rocket. Good luck. Be sure to bookmark this page in order to keep up with the assignments and requirements for this assignment. toc
