Physics Week Ten

I was able to take a break for last week's co-op class, because one of the dads was our guest teacher.  Using his background in aeronautics and engineering, he taught the students a little about how missiles and rockets work, and some information about how missile defense systems work.

Then we went outside to fire a model rocket a few times.

As you can imagine, it was next to impossible to get a picture of the rocket in flight, at least not with my camera and limited photography skills.

We did have fun, and it was an easy week for me!


This is the tenth post in a series -

• Physics Week One (gravity and friction)
• Physics Week Two (structural engineering)
• Physics Week Three (suspension bridges)
• Physics Week Four (constructing catapults)
• Physics Week Five (catapults)
• Physics Week Six (constructing trebuchets)
• Physics Week Seven (trebuchets)
• Physics Week Eight (Viking catapult and hand slings)
• Physics Week Nine (match rockets)
