Power for the launch comes from a small engine inside
the rocket set off from a pad using flashlight batteries and
a small electrical system.
One of the first rockets flew through the air and then
spiraled to the ground without releasing a parachute. The
youngsters watching screamed and laughed at the poor
performance.
Subsequent launches ranged from adequate to spectacu-
lar, as the children applauded wildly after each.
First-grade gifted student Mark Volk was allowed to
participate with the older students due to his special
interest in rockets. He constructed his own design of the
Columbia, which was larger than the rockets students
made from kits.
Unfortunately, his Columbia had “too small engines and
not enough explosives," and careened to the ground not 20
yards from the launch pad.
Mark agreed to go back to the hobby shop for a larger,
more appropriate engine and try to launch the special
rocket again.
Ms. Satterfield said in addition to learning the principles
of rocket propulsion, the students learn to follow directions
and are encouraged to read. Also, the youngsters develop
better vocabulary of aerospace terms and understand
safety rules for model rocketry.

“Five, four, three, two, one...” Nothing.
Countdowns eliciting zero responses reverberated
throughout Eisenhower Elementary School’s playground
Tuesday as students waited in anticipation for each
launching.
The launches, however, were quietly controlled by the
second- or third-grade students whose personal rockets
perched on the launch pad. In time, in between continuous
screaming countdowns by the watching students, the
youngsters would pull the plug.
And the rocket catapulted into the skies, reached a
maximum height, turned downward and released a tiny
parachute, which floated to the ground.
More than 40 students had constructed model rockets for
Tuesday’s launch during a special enrichment project in
science for the two classes.
Teachers Barbara Shahan and LaRue Satterfield
attended a workshop last summer where the idea was
introduced, and the two combined with Cathy Choate to
introduce their students to model rocketry.
The rockets were made from kits using a cardboard tube,
balsa wood nose cone and fins with a plastic launch lug.
Also included inside was a recovery system of either a
parachute or streamers.
