Mrs. Green has received a $1,478.73 STEM grant from the Toshiba America Foundation (TAF) for a "Rocket Math" project. The grant will pay for model rockets, materials to launch the rockets, data sensors to attach to the rockets, and a camera to record the launch of a rocket. Students will use data collected from the rockets to apply mathematical concepts. Students will also learn how to code and analyze data from a data sensor to predict effects of alternate outcomes. Overall, students will learn problem solving skills to overcome obstacles. Mrs. Green is very excited to get this project going and share what students learn.
