Conclusion
What conclusion can you make about the relationship between the launch angle and the rocket’s range? You must use the words:
rocket range, farther, launch angle
Name__________________________________
Use the data to create a scatter plot showing the relationship between average velocity and launch angle.
● The x-axis should be labeled with “Launch Angle Degree” and should have every line labeled counting by
5’s.
● The y-axis should be labeled “Velocity cm/s” and should be labeled in a way that contains your data.
● The data should be match your chart

Conclusion
What conclusion can you make about the relationship between the launch air pressure and the rocket’s range? You must use the
words: rocket range, farther (3 pts)
Use the data to create a line graph showing the relationship between air pressure and range.
Name__________________________________
● The x-axis should be labeled with “Launch Air Pressure” and should have every line labeled counting by 5’s.
● The y-axis should be labeled “Distance in cm or m” and should be labeled in a way that contains your data.
● The data should be match your chart
Activity 3: Rocket Variables
Launch angle should stay at 45 Degrees.

Conclusion
What conclusion can you make about the relationship between the launch air pressure and the rocket’s range? You must use the
words: rocket range, farther, variable
Use the data to create a bar graph showing the relationship between changing variables and range.
● The x-axis should be labeled with “Variable” and each variable should be listed as modeled in class.
