CP Physics Foam Rocket Description, Rubric and Instructions Link

Deadline Extension: Thew final deadline for the project has been extended to 10/29, when you walk into class period 7.

Clarification of Par: All holes should be designed as par 2. This means that you if you make it in the hole in two shots you have achieved Par. Achieving Par is important for the rocket performance part of the grade. You will need to develop skill in making close shots.

Mortar Golf

Working in teams of three, students will build a rubber band powered pipe foam insulation mortar and design a single hole golf course on paper that includes three dimensional hazards. Your target "hole" must be 60 cm diameter round and the horiziontal distance to the "hole" must be 10.0 meters. The model hole layout will then be constructed in a space on the gym floor using suitable materials to include but not limited to chairs, tables, and cardboard. The construction materials must be assembled and disassembled in a single class period. Students are then expected to play the entire classroom course, record scores and rate each hole. Projects grades will be based upon the Mortar Golf Rubric.
