Actual Project/Task
Students will be divided into teams of 3-4 based on their choice or a multiple intelligence assessment test and will do the following tasks during this unit based on their particular strengths:
-
1) Build rockets with different numbers and/or arrangement of fins, fly them and calculate their heights and final velocities. (Kinesthetic)
- Compare each group of rockets using the Students “t” Test to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the rocket altitudes. (Logical/Math)
- Graphically illustrate and present results of testing. (Spatial)
- Develop an ad campaign to “sell” rockets to a company, using digital video editing as a medium. (Linguistic)
- Compose songs/raps to use in the ad campaign. (Music)
- Develop a student survey which investigates the appeal of the ads developed by the team. (Interpersonal)
- Present ads to a panel of experts (marketing class, business class, etc.)
 |
The principle task of the students:
Does changing the number of fins on a rocket affect the maximum altitude it can attain? |
