CS382:Equation-outline

Abstract

This unit will last for two weeks, and will explore the concepts relating to aerodynamics through the modeling of rocket flights and how the flow of thrust through the nozzle at the end of the rockets affects the flight distance of the rocket. This will require use of simulations that are designed to handle such problems, as well as some explanation about aerodynamics in general.

Inquiry Based Learning

Develops students' understanding of the natural world.

Strengthens students' knowledge of the scientific way of knowing — the use of systematic observation and experimentation to develop theories and test hypotheses.

Emphasizes and provides first-hand experience with both theoretical analysis and the collection of empirical data.
