Designing Rocket #2

Designing and building our rocket was very exciting and it was also very hard. We all had fun doing research, designing, and building the rocket.  We also had trouble cooperating which interrupted our work.

Our team decided that we should change the number and size of the fins because everything else was okay for us except the fins. After the launch one of our fins came off because it wasn’t secured/glued properly on to the rocket. But since it didn’t come off during our launch we were fine because the launch has already happened. But we thought that we need to be a bit more careful so one of our fins does not fall off during the launch. 

When we were designing our rocket we focused on what was important and what was not. We also looked at our rocket design from rocket #1. We also looked at our notes and saw that we were changing the fins. We made the amount and size that we wanted on the computer. Our team was very upset because one time or the other someone (almost the whole team) was changing the design to their own preference because we all had trouble listening to each other.

When it came to build our rocket we had no design. So we had to go with he only design which was Elisha’s. we were a bit upset but the real fun was making the rocket. We had to make our rocket quickly since we were out of time. When we were gluing the fins the fins never really stuck so we had to add tape. By the time we were done we were ready to launch.

This is us building rocket #2
