For the second rocket launch, I was very excited but also very nervous. I was nervous because I didn’t want a repeat of last time where our rocket didn’t go anywhere the first time. I wanted the rocket to shoot up on the first time we release for that number launch. That’s why my group worked hard on the rocket. Making every measurement precise. That little detail could make the difference form the rocket going two hundred feet and two feet. I was excited though because rocket launches are fun. Everyone sees the groups rockets go really high. 

The first group went then the second. Why can’t time go faster. “Finally” I said as the group before us just released their rocket. Soon I was standing a few feet away from the rocket ready to countdown. Then I began…. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Release. We watched in amazement as the rocket shot up like a real one. Everyone was cheering. They were all impressed. I definitely was.

Soon later it was time to graph the results, everyone in my group graphed one and we picked the best one. The final result was 131 feet. The other launch our result was 146 feet.

Our group agreed that the clinometer readings were a little off this time because some of us felt this one went higher than the first launch. We had different opinions. Overall we were pretty confident in this launch. Our group thinks we did well and our rocket went high. I certainly agree.
