This week in Mr. Brummer’s Physical Science class, students put their engineering skills to the test and used the scientific method to build better paper rockets. Each group made an original rocket, launched it several times, and recorded the distance it travelled. Then they made a second rocket with a modification they thought would make it fly farther and tested it out over several flights. Some of the students' new rockets flew over 300 inches!

Clay City CUSD #10 will have a 12:02pm dismissal on Friday, September 12.
