Rocket Launch Reflection

I can’t believe it, Rocketry is over! This has been such an amazing experience. We started with one question which was “How can we design and build a successful rocket?”. Next we designed our rockets. This part was so fun because we decided what we wanted to use to build our rockets and what shapes and sizes they would all be. My group, We’re Fired Up chose to use a 2 liter bottle as our body because we thought that it would hold more air. We also chose to use styrofoam as our wings because it’s are light and strong. We 3-D printed our nose cone because it is very strong. Next in the process we built our rockets. This was a success. Time to Launch. Our rocket was successful! Now we revise our rocket and launch again. Another success. I had so much fun and learned a lot.

Isaac Newton Biography

Isaac Newton was born in 1643, Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, England. As a kid Newton loved to have fun and play games. When Newton was 17 and studying at school, his mom took him home to learn the farming trade. Luckily the headmaster convinced Newton’s mom to let him stay. After finishing with high grades he enrolled at Trinity college at the University of Cambridge. He studied there for four years. The school shut down in 1665 because of an outbreak of plague.  After he got his degree he went home to continue studying.

 

After 7 years of researching, Newton discovered gravity and the forces of motion. He published them to the world in 1687. He was 44 years old when he published all of his research. While Newton researched he realized that everything went down rather than up (gravity). This particular fact got Newton very interested in his research. Overall Isaac Newton lived his life to the fullest. Newton solved one of the worlds hardest questions. Without Newton the world would be an even bigger mystery.

Goodbye Summer Hello School

I can’t believe it, summer is over and I am in 5th grade! Summer went by so fast with everything going on. I can already tell that this is going to be a great year! As 5th graders we are the oldest grade in the school! #RuleTheSchool. I’ve always wondered what it is like to be the role model in the school, and now I know! I am so excited for all of the fun projects that I will participate in this year and I can’t wait to work with many new people. I am so excited for the year ahead!

Sincerely, Sabrina
