🚀 Launching Learning to New Heights!

Our science students have been hard at work applying what they’ve learned about Newton’s Laws, the metric system, mass, pressure, engineering and design, and aerodynamics—all while following the scientific method and practicing safety first.

Their challenge? Design and build a 2-liter bottle rocket. Students researched the best water-to-air ratio and optimal pressure to see whose rocket could stay airborne the longest.

This hands-on project combined critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, giving students the opportunity to experience real-world applications of science.

We’re proud of their innovation and teamwork!
📸 Check out the photos and videos below to see the launches in action!
