Students will investigate energy, Newton’s three laws of motion, thermodynamics and how they apply to rocket technology. The older students (readers group) will then construct and launch a solid fuel rocket, and the younger students (almost readers) will construct and launch a water bottle rocket.

Driving directions and maps of the Navy Yard are available at: www.history.navy.mil/branches/org8_Visit.htm
