Rocketry reflection

Rocketry was awesome. I was waiting for the project in 4th grade and now it came. The building process was pretty fun but taping it together was annoying. When we were building I was already thinking about our launch. We also had to do practice using the clinometer which was really fun. The clinometer is the tool that we measure the angle of the rocket with. Our rocket was very successful but stressful at the same time. It was stressful because when I was pressing the button I did not press it hard enough and it did not launch but I just needed to press it again. Our first launch was very successful we got 16.5 and I was pretty happy but I thought we could do better. After the first launch, we decided to fix the nose cone because it was dented. Fixing our rocket was key because we needed a better launch for attempt #2. After our second launch, I was very surprised but amused at the same time because it turned out our adjustments actually made attempt #2 worse. We got 5.5, honestly, I did not care because I had a lot of fun overall. If I could change anything about the project I would change our rocket body because I would like to see if it affects the launch at all. For example, if the rocket goes higher because it is skinnier and lightweight or something like that.  In total all of the groups did great and none of them did not launch so it was pretty good. I thought the project was a great way to start the year off.\
