MES STEM CAMP RECAP from Coach Hoelscher: During the STEM Camp, we used 2-liter bottles to build water rockets. Each group was given multiple days to construct their rocket using cardboard, plastic, tape, and other materials. Teams attempted to build cones and fins for their bottles to cut through the air (for less resistance) in an effort to go higher than other groups! Each team was granted a practice run before the official rocket launch! During the official rocket launches, teams were given liberties on how much water/air would be filled/placed within their bottle rockets. At the end of the launch day, K-2 were able to achieve an altitude of 62 feet, while grades 3-5 hit the 100 foot mark! Overall, each student had a blast learning about Issac Newton and his laws of motion; they enjoyed learning about gravity and its effects on objects; and they lastly learned about aerodynamics, specifically when applied to rockets!
