October Sky

In October Sky, when the boy's tryed to make a rocket, they had to use a lot science and math. When the boy's tryed to make the rocket they studied the science part by figuring out how to make one. They then figured out how to make a rocket and they used math to figure out how long the rocket had to be. They also had to make the width of the rocket and how far it went. The boy's got blamed for starting a fire in the woods because it was a couple of miles away from their launch site. The boy's knew that they didn't start the fire so they used algebra to figure out where the rocket landed and it wasn't even close to where the fire started. The boy's had to use self control when their rockets always didn't go the way they wanted it to. Like when the rocket blew up they didn't get angry it just made the want to work harder and succeed in what they wanted to accomplish.
