Capstone Blog Post #1

When I started doing Capstone I didn’t know what I wanted to do. So I thought something that would be interesting so I thought of Landmarks. I liked that so I did some research about landmarks. Then I had to think about what landmark I wanted to do so I did a research of my few favorites landmarks those ones were The Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. I chose the Empire State Building because I have the most experience in it and it is one of my favorite landmarks. After I chose my topic I went to make a research slide show. In the slide show, I showed resources, main inquiry question and sub-questions.

Capstone Blog #2

I started getting resources for the Empire state building and getting interview questions for my interview. There were a lot of interesting things I found and helpful resources it was good for me to pick the Empire state building over a few other landmarks. I made a slideshow for my note-taking and main inquiry and sub-questions to help me figure out what things are helpful to use for my video. When I did my interview I found out a lot of different facts and interesting things that can be helpful for me about New York and the empire state building itself.

Rocket reflection

Today we did our rocket launch I had to take the video for are group the other jobs are launcher which hit’s the button. The other job is doing the pump to set up the rocket. The last job is the countdown person they make sure everybody is ready. There is a trundle wheel to make sure the clinometers shoot from 50 meters The data recorders record the data of the clinometers. After the launch, we did the clinometer average and the height was 46.5. We did really good on the first launch. We got to make a change so we fixed our fins we rebuilt are fins. Then it came it was our second launch I was the launcher On the first launch I was the video. We did our launch are height was 59.5 it was better than our last one. It was very fun doing rocketry we built the rocket, also did research, Inspiration board, the first launch, made a change than did launch two. It was a lot of fun.
