Mr. Tomlin's Class Shoots Rockets!

It is the end of the year and the seniors are gone. It's a
perfect time for the Juniors from the Physics class to have some
fun. For the past week Mr. Tomlin has instructed his physics
classes on how to build their own rockets. Students could use
a kit or create their own.
After assembling their rockets they were allowed to spray paint
them the colors of their choice. The past 2 days have been
used to shoot the rockets on the baseball field.
There are engines from a-c. A is the smallest engine, C is
the biggest. The rockets were shot off very high into the
air, and some rockets you couldn't even see. Some were not
found.
Shooting off my rocket was definitely one of the highlights of my
high school experience thus far.
