In this course, taught by research scientist Dr. Michael Vogt, new students will be introduced to rocketry while students who are currently in the rocketry course will continue building their own rockets, and working on more complex class projects.
In this course, the students will learn important hands-on fabrication methods, some of which take days and weeks to complete as they design and construct launch-able compressed-gas-powered water-propelled rockets. They will also continue to update and improve the Cyprüdyne High Altitude Probe (HAP), the weather-balloon instrument designed and constructed in Sessions II and III.
This session will construct the new parachute recovery equipment and introduce modular capsules for student-planned missions. Students will apply the trigonometry and geometry they have been learning to predict the rockets’ near-one-thousand-foot flight, and analyze flight data from the recorder after recovery.
Interested new students are invited to drop by the Cyprus X-ploratorium and see the growing fleet of two-dozen Cyprüdyne rockets that have been constructed already, and/or attend a Rocket Lunch at Cyprus to see why this has become the core STEM class all school year!!
Fridays 12:00 - 1:00 - Grades 3 - 6
April 4- May 30
