ROCKET PROJECT!!!
In order for a student to build a rocket with an engine, he or she must be responsible
by turning in all assignments by the due date, they must have turned in all signed documents
sent home (example: report cards and the rocket rubric) and trying his or her best on all
science assignments. The student must have the rocket rubric signed by a parent or guardian
by 3/11/15.
Failure to meet these guidelines will result in the student doing a research paper on a rocket
mission. Students in 6th grade science must show they are responsible and dependable.
A Seattle teenager was seriously harmed while working on rocket project at home.
I created these strict guidelines to reduce the chances of anyone getting hurt or to reduce
the chances of school or home property being damage.
