Steam Project: Sine and Cosine
Steam Project: Sine and Cosine
Trigonometry + STEAM! This project takes elements of STEAM and looks as to how sine and cosine are used in real life.
Water Bottle Rocket
Water Bottle Rocket
During this project we constructed and launched a bottle rocket in order to investigate projectile motion. Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory.

Design
Design
This first step was finding out what make a rocket launch well.
Size: We decided on using a smaller bottle as our base. While this means that we would have less weight, we would also have less space for "fuel"
Fins: My group decided on using a smaller wing, with small extensions at the end to help with stabilization.
Nose Cone: A cone was placed on the end of the rocket to help with the aerodynamics of our rocket.

Launch
This is the video of our bottle launching.
After the construction of everyone's rockets was complete, we launched them with pressurized air on the school field.

Using the math we have learned in Pre- Calculus, my group was able to figure out the trajectory of our rocket
