We launched our rockets on a Friday and ours went 192 feet in the air! This was our first attempt at building and launching the homemade rocket. We were really proud of that. Overall our rocket did the best. Because of our weight distributed throughout the rocket we did really well. I think that was a huge factor in our success.

We had certain jobs while launching the rocket and we all did super well at each of them We worked really well together as a team and I think that benefit us tremendously. I was a kilometer reader at one point which was pretty cool. I got to measure how high the other teams rocket went. When we were launching I pumped the air pressure to the exact point it needed to launch. I got it exactly on the mark which was weird but cool.

My group partners had different jobs than me. one was counting down when to launch and another was pressing the button to launch the rocket. I remember seeing my rocket launch and go so high, higher than all the other rockets. I was so excited when I saw that happen and I thought “That was only our first launch and build! How did that happen!”

Overall I thought our group did really well and I am very excited for our next build and launch!
