# Overview
|
||
|
||
## Science Concept
|
||
|
||
The Earth exerts a gravitional force on all objects. A rocket must have a force greater than gravity to lift off. This force, acceleration, can be measured with a @boardname@ in 3 different directions or as a combined force of all three. A two liter soda bottle rocket can be made and then changes in acceleration can be measured as it lifts off and falls back to the earth.
|
||
|
||
## Project Goal
|
||
|
||
Give students real world experience with coding, collecting data, analyzing data, and reporting results using MakeCode’s block programming and a @boardname@ with its sensors.(MakeCode.org and @boardname@.org)
|
||
|
||
## Prior Knowledge
|
||
|
||
Students need to have a basic knowledge of how to code using block style programming (@boardname@ using the Windows 10 MakeCode app) and download a program to a @boardname@.
|
||
|
||
## Student Outcomes
|
||
|
||
Students will:
|
||
|
||
* Create experiments to collect data using @boardname@s and measure acceleration of a 2 liter pop bottle water rocket.
|
||
* Code the @boardname@s to collect data remotely over the @boardname@ radios.
|
||
* Analyze the data collected.
|
||
* Report on the findings of the experiments.
|
||
|
||
## Materials Needed
|
||
|
||
* 2 @boardname@s with batteries connected
|
||
* A 2 liter pop bottle rocket with nosecone
|
||
* A 2 liter pop bottle rocket launcher
|
||
* A longer USB @boardname@ cable
|
||
* Spreadsheet for data analysis
