We launched our rockets! Our first rocket went higher than the second one. My group was very disapointed and I was to. But at least it got off the launcher.

 

My group went first again. This time the parents were watching that also made me more mad because our parents couldn’t see our best work. At least the whole class there rocket off the launcher, that’s a big thing.

 

After the next day it was time to start graphing our rocket we basicly did the same thing as last time we added our hights together and then divied by 3 whitch got us to 20 then we worked with this special craffing paper and it turns out we got 67 meters. Not to bad.

We are building our second Rocket. The promblem was that we can only change one thing from  our old rocket, but we are building the rocket from scratch. We decided to make our fin trigal shape instead of parrella.

 

After we planned out our Rocket it was time to build. Me and one of my team mebers were building the nose cone and one of my other team mebers were doing the fins. 

 

After we had everything ready it was time to hot glue. First we hot glued the nose cone then the fins and we secured both with tape. As a little decoration we decorated it with black and orange to match hallween.

We did our launch!!!! It was so much fun. All our rocket went so high. Ours went very high, it went 38 metters. I got to be the launcher and the rocket placer. This is my rocket launch story.

 

We did our rocket launch on the field, the launcher was made out of a bicycle pump and a pvc pipe. When we got on to the field and we were getting set up for the first launch, which was my group. One of my group mebers was counting down 10 9 8 7 I was so nervous.

 

3 2 1 the rocket flies up so high at least it looks like it did. Everyone went wow, cause it was our first launch and also we went first but on everyones we all said wow on everyones. 

 

It was the next day after launching it was time to graph which means that we were gonna find out how high our rocket went next we chose the most reasonable hight and then we graphed it and it turns our rocket went 38 meters and we got second place which ‘m pretty happy about.

We are building rockets, then we are going to launch them on this special launcher. My favorite part about the designing process was making the inspiration board because we got to add glitter and got to do a lot of fun research like Newton’s three laws, diagrams and pictures of rockets. My team is called the astro rockets, I actullay like that name.

 

My favorite part about building the rocket is making the fins because it was fun to choose the number of fins and the sizes, I also like to hot glue them on our rocket, I love hot glue!

 

 We built our rocket in a thick way and we used contruction paper we also used contruction tape so it could be very secured. For our Nose Cone we had to use this special technique and then cover it with tape then hot glue it to the rocket. Then we add our fins with hot glue and also add so tape so it could be extra stable.
