LANDING ON THE MOON
Overview: During this unit you your partner will be applying your knowledge in an attempt to land on the moon. The only constant is the air pressure supplied (60 p.s.i.) by the rocket launcher. The variables will be your launch angle and wind correction.

Todays Moon will be ________ feet from the launcher.

Reflection Questions
1. What was the closest your teams rocket came to the moon?
_______________________________________________________________

2. By adjusting your settings was your team able to improve with progressive launches?
_______________________________________________________________

3. Think back to the very first launch with 60 p.s.i. and a launch angle of 45 degrees. Why do you and your partner think the rockets performed so differently? Try to come up with at least 15 different reasons and then circle the one you and your partner think is the most important factor.
