Rocketry Launch #1

I was scared at first because I had to pull the rope and we were first! I was nervous I was scared I was going to pull it too hard or too soft. Was it going to go high or low? Will it explode or will our rocket break in mid-air? Will it go wrong. What if a rocket breaks before we put it on the Launch Pad? What if someone in our group is sick? What if we lose our rocket, what will happen? What will happen if the grass is too wet? What will happen if the launch pad brakes? What what if we don’t have enough water? What if we have a fire drill at the same time we should be launching our rockets? What if it snows? What if Miss Boyer is sick? What if the parents don’t come?

The day we launched our rockets came. We have to be at school at about 8:37 then we had to get all of our supplies and our rocket. Then we had to use a trundle wheel to track how far we had to go. Next we set up the launch pad. We also set up the pump we had to pump 90 PSI after that we filled the rocket with water. Next we put the rocket on the launch pad. Since our group was first and I was pulling the Rope. I had butterflies in my stomach, All of the parents were watching including my dad! I hope the Blasting Rockets don’t fail I said to myself.  They started the countdown 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5…4… 3… 2… 1 then I pulled.

It went so high but compared,  to the other ones it was very bad. We used a clinometer. To see how many meters it went, ours went 20 meters. The Highest one was J.E.X.L. there’s went 57.7 meters. The team that got 2nd place was Science Minds theres was 51 Meters. 3rd place is Rocketeers they got 49.5. Then LASA got fourth place with 34 Meters. We still did pretty good.
