Students love to have fun and some got their chance when three Lake Havasu City High School special needs classes recently made paper rockets and launched them using bicycle pumps and plastic piping.
Each student was very excited as they placed the open bottoms of their rockets on the open end of plastic piping, which was then connected to a bicycle pump. Students then took turns pumping until there were 50 pounds of pressure in the piping before they released a valve that allowed the air to force their rockets intothe immediate atmosphere.
After a Lake Havasu City High School teacher saw the demonstration at a local festival, she knew it would be a great way to help incorporate academic lessons with her special needs students. The students learned how to turn two-dimensional shapes into three-dimensional shapes, measurements and science.
This is another great display of how wonderful Lake Havasu City schools and teachers are continuously going above and beyond for the community's students.
