The Math of Missiles and Rockets

Throwing an object across the classroom is an example of a parabolic trajectory. Students will be able to experiment with a tennis ball, with paper and later on, with a constructed mini-rocket. The results and the effects of the different sizes and shapes of the objects will be recorded.
