Rocketry

I think rocketry has been okay so far, but I think it will be pretty fun when we get to building and launching the rocket. I have experienced making an inspiration board so far and so far it is my least favorite part. Printing out pictures and ideas that inspire us, gluing it setting it up. That’s not really my thing. But building is.

In our first rocket design as a group, I really liked the designed we came up with including three fins instead of four, making the body thin, and making the nose cone sturdy and not to slim. I think that our rocket will be very successful although I think we will make adjustments.

I have learned how a rocket can be successful. Some examples are, the body should be pretty skinny but sturdy, we should have a pretty acute angle fins, The nose cone should be sturdy and slim, and much more. Overall I really am looking forward to building the rocket and launching it.

Identity Bags and Maps Reflection

I thought the identity bags were a good experience. I learned many things about my classmates but nothing about my self. I learned who liked to cook, to bake, to do arts and crafts, and much more. I already knew that I loved basketball and the ravens e.t.c. But what I did not is that a group of people liked to bake or cook. I didn’t know that a group of people liked arts and crafts. I think this was a really great experience because when you know more about people you can bond with them.

In the identity maps I got to be creative with drawing and show people stuff about myself so I thought it was a good experience too. By looking at others maps I learned more things about them that they couldn’t represent from the identity bags. Overall I really liked this project and learned a lot from it.
