7th Grade is Not Rocket Science....Or Is It?


This week at the middle school where I work it was "Rocket Week." All of the 7th grade Science classes got the chance to build rockets. Then they launched them on the front lawn. Since my student was checked out early one day, I had the opportunity to watch the daughter of a co-worker launch her rocket. I had so much fun watching flight teams Alpha through Foxtrot! Some of the rockets were total sucesses with parachutes deploying and landings right in the middle of the lawn. Others didn't have parachute deployment or landed in trees. Two of the rockets actually completely separated from their parachutes and shot toward the ground while the parachutes floated gracefully on to the roof of the school.
