Animas High School students test their prototype water rockets
Animas High School math teacher, Andy Lloyd, helps students Oakley Bachor, 16, center, and Vivian Van Delden, 14, launch their prototype water rocket on Thursday at the Smith Sports Complex at Fort Lewis College. The sophomore physics and math class are part of the Rocket Project where they learn about engineering, design and quadratic Newton’s law. The students will go back to class and over the next few months refine their rockets that should launch up over 300 feet carrying an Egganaut (a fresh egg). (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
