Sheldon Middle School 7th grade Technology students put their creativity and engineering skills to the test!
Students recently tested different-sized bottles to see which ones would launch the highest. First they chose a bottle size and designed their own rockets. Then it was time for the big test — launching their rockets to see how high they could go! Way to go Orabs!
