Observer 1

In the first an only Action project of our Elective term class, Rocket Science, we did a series of activities along with some educational field experiences. When starting the class, we were determined to learn about the physics concepts of rockets, historic events/figures, and what rocket science in the field looks like. Our class traveled on several field experiences such as the Adler Planetarium and the MSI. I enjoyed how involved and connected the class was; from the first mini-mission everything was being connected to our final action project: the launch of our rockets. This action project was about making our space launch real. From explaining the naming behind our rockets to how much it costs to graphing the parabolic height of the flight. Today, you will learn about the launch of my rocket: Observer 1. I hope you enjoy.
