Rocket launch!
1 of 5
Students from Alice Byrne Elementary School launched their science projects skyward with the help of the Yuma Aeromodelers, Civil Air Patrol Cadets, and a real rocket scientist. The rocket launch is an annual field trip that the fourth graders work toward, learning about aerodynamics and engineering along the way.
