Homework from 6 nights

There is no write up for the human 3-stage rocket competition


[1] Please start each night’s homework at the top of a new page, and number each day 1, 2, 3…etc.  This will make it easier to grade.  If you are lost – look at it as a creative writing assignment – write about specifically what you don’t understand…
