Project Summary The students are researchers for Boeing. Boeing wants to figure out what the cheapest gas that is used in an airship and create a new model to market to the United States Government. The Researchers will create a scale model of an airship. The students will create a portfolio including: Pictures, Trial data, Speed Graphs, Engineering Process Phases and Research. Individually they will create a Bohr Model of the gas that they have chosen. They will present their findings to the Boeing Board of Directors in a short 4-5 minute presentation. Driving Question/ According to the gases in the periodic table, how can one identify and interpret the most cost effective gases
