Project: RocketsGroup Work Defined
Working in small groups to solve problems is a great way to learn science. Here are a few documents to give group work some shape and definition so that it can be a self-regulating learning tool:
Group Work Definitions
Group Work Process

Important note regarding printing
Before printing turn off the optional header and footer information. Also, make the left margin 0.75 in (1.9 cm) and the other margins 0.5 in (1.3 cm) so that the page breaks I built into the pages work as intended. Use only Internet Explorer or Opera browsers to print as Netscape and Firefox both seem to mess things up a bit.
