Launching and Graphing Rocket #3

For the third launch the parents came. We wanted this rocket to go the highest and do the best. Our group worked really hard designing and building so I hoped the hard work would pay off. 

 

As the group before us finished it came time for our group. When I walked over to the button pressing station, I put on my goggles tension rising. Everyone was looking. On the other hand, I was super excited. I couldn’t wait for the rocket to go zooming up. Only to get pulled by gravity back to earth. Soon the countdown started, !0, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Release!!! I watched as the rocket went soaring up to the sky. As the rocket fell back down, everyone was clapping. The rocket even stayed in one piece. Nothing moved or changed. I was so happy, the rocket was a success!!! 

 

Back in the classroom, we were graphing our results. The graph is hard to line up and mine is always inaccurate and not straight with a lot of erase marks. We chose the best graph as our final one. The rocket went 136 feet!! We were all super happy. That went the second highest out of our three rockets.
