I'm thinking about incoporating model rockets into a high school physics course that I teach. However, I don't want it just to look nice, I want the students to be able to make some kind of connection between the rocket flights and quantitative physics. In theory, I could tie this into lessons about momentum, thrust, and the range equation. (although in practice the light mass of a model rocket compared to the relatively large air resistance plus wind will probably make all predictions grossly unreliable.)
Does anyone know of any books or websites that offer suggestion on integrating physics classes and model rockets?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
