On day three we went out and try the rocket. It failed, but we learned that when we made the rocket, we through tape was enough. But actually hot glue gun was the better choice, even though we add more black tape to the rocket, the air still leaks out. There were lots of problems we had to solve, but we learned a lot. Although because of the rocket itself had a lot of problems, we had no idea if the launch pad plan worked or not. I hope that we can bring some of the understandings to the bigger project we are going to do next week.
Rocket Making day 3
Rocket making day 2
Day two we had our materials ready to go. Firstly we cut two bottles in half and tape it together, one of the reasons why we didn;t use glue gun is because we think it might affect the speed when it flys, another one was it take a long time to use and might fail. After finishing the rocket body and wings, we put our hand on our lanuch pad. The lanuch pad we hope to make was a little bit different than other groups. We brainstormed some ideas and find one intersting: make something to hole de rocket on to the lanuch pad, once it had maxumen pressure in it, the thing will go off and the rocket will fly highr. We didn’t had time to make a better lanuch pad, but we were happy about what we’ve made and impatinet to try it out.
Rocket making day 1
Today we didn’t had our bottles ready for the rocket body, but we design and cut out the lanucher. The lanucher itself is made out of cardboard, and we plant to use tape to tape it. Also we had our four wings ready for the rocket. Next class we will be planing on making and testing the rockets with our super lanucher.
