When we launched our rockets it was really exciting. When we launched I had no idea what to expect. Before we could launch, we had to make inspiration boards. Inspiration boards were the first thing we did in the process. What we did for inspiration boards is we collected pictures of rockets and information about rockets. Making our inspiration boards was very fun and helpful because we were finding all these facts about rockets. I did not know that rocketry was that interesting. After our inspiration boards, we had to make blue prints for our rockets.  After that we made the rockets.  For the rockets we used tape, cardboard, paper, and hot glue.

For Launch 2, I was not there. Our group, the New Newtons, changed our first rocket by adding two new fins and a new nosecone. The day of Launch 2 was very windy. Our rocket went only 24.5 meters compared to our first launch of 28.5 meters. I felt the result of Launch 2 was due to the windy conditions. I also did not think that our nosecone was as effective as our first one. Our second nosecone had a ridge in the tape which might have slowed down the rocket as it went up. Overall, our group worked very well together. Our rocket was successful on both launches. At least our launches did not explode! One thing that I learned about Rocketry is that the rocket being aerodynamic makes a big difference. Rocketry was a BLAST!

This is my Rocketry movie.
