Multiplication and the Sieve of Eratosthenes
@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes @http://www.hbmeyer.de/eratclass.htm The Sieve of Eratosthenes is a method that seeks out all the prime numbers in a given group of numbers. A prime number is a number greater than 1 and whose multiples can only be itself and 1. For example, 2 is a prime number because its multiples are only 2 and 1, therefore, the Sieve of Eratosthenes says to cross out all numbers in a given group that are multiples of 2, except 2 itself.

Your Goal is to write a description of your experiment with the straw rocket.
First Paragraph
 * Write an introduction that tells what this is about. Give the reader an idea about what's coming up in this essay.
 * Restate the problem. (“I tested how the shape of the fins would affect the distance the rocket traveled.”)
 * Restate the hypothesis. (“I thought the square fins would cause the rocket to travel farthest.”)

Second Paragraph
 * Describe the results. Make it simply by sticking to the facts (i.e. “The rocket with the square fins traveled an average of 5.67 m”). There should be 3 statements like this.

Third Paragraph
 * State whether your hypothesis was correct or incorrect and WHY you think the results came out the way they did. Here is where you can add lots of information - expand! Write in a way this information could be useful if someone were designing a real rocket.

Fourth Paragraph
 * Describe something you would do differently if you could redo this lab. What did you learn that would help you improve the experiment?
 * Think of something else you would like to investigate related to this topic.
