Most Read posts on Ed Tech Guy for Past Week




The end of the school year quickly approaches as our seniors start their final exams on May 29th. My physics classes are working on their Rockets project. They start with a WebQuest on NASA's site learning about rockets, the physics of rockets, and model rockets. Then they design and build a model rocket, analyze it and do all the calculations to predict the altitude it should reach. Then we launch them and track the actual altitude. It's fun, a great way to apply many physics topics into one project, and a great way to end the year.
