Callaway High School Physical Science students wrapped up the semester with project-based learning. Students constructed the rockets from paper and launched them with pressurized air from an air compressor. Their goal was to design and build a rocket with the least air resistance so it would travel the greatest distance when launched. The winning rocket traveled over 173 ft. Pictured here is Edward Daniel, from Mrs. Wiggins' 5th period, working intently on his air rocket.
