Collin LaChance and Nevaan Renjith came in first place with an exceptional rocket design that traveled 29 feet!
Second place went to Jeffrey Harrington and Camden Longchamps with a rocket flight of 27ft.
Third place went to Ethan Mascis and Abram Shepherd with a flight of 25ft.
Noah Cook came in fourth place.
All of the students needed to design, construct, and conduct 12 test flights of their rockets, followed by participating in an 8-team single elimination bracket to determine the top rocket. Students then analyzed their data. They calculated the mean, median, mode, and range, as well as graphed the rocket’s performance as both a dot plot and a box and whisker plot.
