Designing and Building Rocket #3

When we designed our third rocket we went back to our old first design because we relized that it would do the best out of all our designs. The only changes we made was making our rocket a little bit smaller and everything ingeneral. We thought this would help so it can rise up quicker and faster in the air. We think this will make our rocket set a record of height interms of our group.

The design had parts like sturdy nose cone taped in electrical tape, sturdy skinny pipe body, sturdy cardboard fins and more. We want to keep the same design as the first one  except improve it a little to set a record for our group. This will be our final launch so we want to make it count. I think the sturdy nose cone, body and fins will play a huge role in our success. Simply because it balances out the weight of our rocket.

When we started to build our rocket we tried to make it very precise. We wanted the measurments to be exact for top of the line performance. Even one foot could make a difference for us. Who knows? It might be the foot that makes the record for our group. We made our nose cone just like the first time (as that nose cone fitted our slightly smaller design) and made the body a little bit smaller and exact and we hot glued on the slightly smaller cardboard fins than last time. I always have liked building what you thought of. So I enjoyed building it.

I think that we had really good teamwork during the design and build proccess and I really enjoyed designing and building our third rocket. I think overall our group did really well and I can’t wait until our next launch!
