In our rocketry group we designed and built a rocket and as our first design began we made a sketch of what we thought was necessary. Strong supportive nose cone made with paper and electrical tape, using skinny pipe for body and much more. We used 3 fins and cardboard for the fins. we thought this would balance out the rocket more. Our rocket became very balanced because of this.

After about three or four days we started to build our rocket based on our design. We made everything how we planned it. We made a paper nose cone rapped in electrical tape for support and balance. We made cardboard long and skinny sturdy fins. We used a skinny pipe to make it more arrow dynamic and balanced out. It was very exciting for me to build the rocket because I like to craft and create stuff. We all worked together at building the rocket. I think this benefited us tremendously.

I think our group did really well collaborating. We compromised and agreed on a lot of things. In my  opinion we were a really good group. This is a huge part of why we were successful. I remember thinking “How are we going to build this thing? What are we going to use? Will it be hard to build?” Then we built it and it seemed so easy.

Overall I think we worked really well together as a group and that working well together was a huge part of our success! I really enjoyed designing and building our rocket!
