All of our Grade 8 students launched their bottle rockets last Friday. Water rockets of very different colors and dimensions were launched from an air –pressurized pad and shot all the way up to the sky. Competitions are a wonderful way for teachers to reinforce science skills with exciting, hands-on activities while challenging students to persevere and excel. The bottle rocket competition objective was the highest flight. Each participant had two opportunities to launch  their rockets. The competition was dominated by girls.

• First Place: Danae Cruyff 23m
• Second Place: Tali Khanlari & Caitlin Ford 18m
• Third Place: Victoria Lauk 17m
