In this hands-on experiment, we will apply Newton's 1st and 3rd Laws of Motion to design and launch a rocket. We will investigate how launch angle and power affect the projectile's point of impact. By testing a launch angle of 55 degrees at a power of 3, we aim to determine the distance our rocket travels. Additionally, we will explore the necessary launch parameters to reach Mars. After conducting the experiment, we will analyze the data, evaluate our hypothesis, and draw conclusions on the rocket's performance.

1) Question • Understand and put to use Newton’s 1st and 3rd Law of Motion. We will also look at projectory, angles, and point of impact. • What will the point of impact be at power 3 and angle 55? • What angle, power will it take to reach Mars?
2) Hypothesis • If I launch my rocket at a 550 angle and a power of 3, then the point of impact will be _______ meters. • If I want to reach Mars, then I need an angle of ____ 0 and a power of ____.
3) Experiment • Build a rocket using a pen casing and fins. • See attached handout.
4) Data • See attached handout.
5) Analysis • Explain the data on the attached handout.
6) Conclusion Was your hypothesis correct? • At power 3 angle 55, the point of impact of my rocket was _____m. To reach Mars the angle was ___ 0, the power was ___ .
