Day 7...Viking Rockets!!


Today we build our Viking Rockets. They are going to launched on Thursday, at Fiesta Island! It will be an awesome day!


Tomorrow is our last day at the Air and Space Museum...BooHoo...but still, we have more fun ahead! make sure you bring the Young Eagles waiver in to me. If I don't have it on Friday, YOU CAN'T GO FLYING!!!!


Here are you homework questions:


1. If it takes 2000 pounds of fuel to get 1 pound of payload into space, how many pounds of fuel does it take to get 400,000 pounds of payload to space?


2. In order for us to go lift off our rockets on Thursday, you need to be familiar with the "Model Rocket Safety Codes." Please tell me all 11 safety codes and what they mean.
