    Mr. Lightyear of PIXAR is looking for rocket designs to take him to space. As part of a school assignment, students are asked to complete tasks investigating properties of materials and the effects of forces, as well as experiments on speed, velocity, acceleration, and building a water rocket. The student who submits the best design will win a job at PIXAR and the promise to go into space with Mr. Lightyear.

    Scenario

    Mr Lightyear of the People’s Institute of Xcitement About Rockets (PIXAR) is looking to


    develop a Rocket that will take him on his long awaited trip to Space. Due to his lack
    of success he has asked for designs and information on making the perfect rocket. As
    a reward for the winning design he is offering a job at his company and promises to
    take you to infinity and beyond.
