Design Rocket #2

When we started building our rocket it was going really well, I think that our final design turned out well I don’t know what we could have done to make it amazing. Now I will explain how the process works.

We were told that we could only change one thing about our rocket. The thing we would change about our rocket was our fins. We made the fins bigger and we put them higher, we also put three fins instead of 4. We used four fins on our other rocket. I think that 

I think that I have a few things I would change about our rocket. I would say that maybe we should have done a thick body because then more air would go into it, and it might have gone higher. Also maybe we should have kept the fins the same size and put four fins again. I feel that our rocket wasn’t our best work.

Overall I enjoyed the process of making it and if there were a third launch there are many ideas i have and I wish we could use them!

 

Launch 1

Our first launch we learned a lot. It was not very successful but we had a second chance and we fixed it and then it was the third highest int the class!

Our first rocket launch ever was not the best. Our nosecone fell off and one of our fins came loose. I think that maybe we should have spent less time arguing about the colors and more time about how stable it is and if we think there is something else we could add to it to make it even better.

Once we had the chance to fix it we used more for glue wich definitely helped. First we made a new nosecone, then I hot glued it on and then we taped it. That definitely helped. For the loose fins we hot glued the top and the bottom.

I think that next launch we have a lot of things we could do better. Maybe we could make the nosecone a little more skinny, and the fins bigger and more up the body.

I am really excited to see how our next launch goes and if we made enough improvements to get our rocket to be the one that went the highest.

                      In class we have been working as a team to create our first rocket design. The process has been difficult because you have to agree with everyone in your group, there are four people in my group. Our group name is Blast Off!!!

Our first design had four fins a narrow body and a nosecone. We used tape to keep the paper body together, and we also used tape to keep the nosecone onto the body. We hot glued the fins onto the body, our nosecone was made out of paper, our fins were made out of cardboard and the body was made with paper.

We used a narrow tube and covered it with paper, but we made sure that it could slip out of the paper that is how we shaped our body. With our fins we traced a triangle onto paper and then put it on top of the cardboard and cut four triangles. For our nosecone we used materials from the classroom the were circular, and we traced them and then cut them out. When we finished doing that we folded it in half and cut a line down the center and then rolled it and it made a nosecone.

I think that making the rocket was a super fun project. It used a lot of creativity and I can’t wait to make another one.

Eagle Research project

In reading we  have been studying how to research. My research process was to find out different types of information about eagles and jot the information I found into a packet. On our book we organized our titles into subtopics. Our subtopics were, Hunting Techniques. Eagles Body Parts, Eagles Flight, Raising a Family and Nests and Eggs. WE organized our research books from easiest to hardest. And I think that really helped my group and I. I think that the most valuable thing I learned about the research project was hearing stories about what not to do such as not to copy other people’s work.

 

I applied my work from my animal studies to country studies by, organizing things into categories, and I think that really helped me during the process. And I also had help from an amazing partner.

We divided our chapters into categories we divided them into something called “ Cultural Universals.” The cultural universals are called, Politics, Social Aspects, Economy, Beliefs and Cultural Arts.

My title of my book is, “ The Cultural Universals of Poland.”

My favorite part of the project was working with a partner.bAnd creating all of the google slides.

What I found challenging was that there was some things that I couldn’t find pieces of information so that was very tricky. But I really liked the project.

For our Maglev train we put two strip magnets on the top and bottom. And for our track we put two strip magnets on top and bottom. We did not get anything right. We did not get our train to levitate. But after a few more tries we got it to work. I learned that when you don’t get something right the first time try again and maybe you will get it right. We took away the disk magnets from the bottom of the train and took away the strip magnet from the middle. My goal for the next design is to not argue as much  as we did. And to get little beads / Weights on the track and still have the train  “Levitate.”
