Do you have any tips on launching model rockets? For example, how should I measure the height that the rockets go?

Here's a web site that clearly shows how to do it: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/rocket/rkthowhi.html

You'll have to learn a bit about trigonometry. All the equations you'll need are right there. Now all you have to do is get a couple volunteers to help.

Here's a couple other web sites that will give you more help:
