June 3, 2010 – Katy, Texas – Morton Ranch Junior High students, including Ashley Thornhill (pictured) and science teacher, Roy Eriksen recently participated in a model rocket project associated with a unit on space exploration. Students got the chance to launch their model rockets from the MRJH football fields. Eriksen played an integral role in designing the lab, as he helped coordinate which rockets the students could build and the order in which they would be launched. The successful project was a collaborative effort among the entire sixth-grade science team, he says, and it was great to see students so engaged and excited about science.Â Please mention you found this on www.KatyMagazine.com.
