Rocketry #1

 

This week we have been doing rocketry in class. So far we have made inspiration boards our rocket design. 

When doing our inspiration board we had to do a lot of work. We look up any helpful quotes including the laws of newton and the famous quote of Neil Armstrong “ This is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Next we did 2 rocket diagrams. The first one of a real rocket, The second one of a paper rocket. The only real difference is that the real rocket has an engine and the paper rocket uses a pump to produce air pressure to make it go through the pipe  to blast it off.

Once we finished the inspiration board we made a rocket design. The rocket design included four fins, and the nose cone. We did this on google drawing and used the different shapes provided to make our rocket design. Then we had to build.

When we were building we had to make the body, nose cone and fins we put this together with hot glue and electrical tape. Our team didn’t work together as good as I wanted to but in the end our group got it together and made the best rocket we could. Then we prepped for the launch.
