The rocket challenge

First) we did our planning on paper and ch what we where going to our rocket
Second) we got a bottle and ice cream containers and made fins and cut them out
Third) we glued our fins to the bottle.
Fourth) we designed and put tape on our bottle .
Fifth)  We got sharpies and coloured our rocket.
Sixth) Then we got to the point of launching our rocket.
we launched our rocket at 60 psi and with 300 ml water.

For the last 7 weeks we have learnt about aerodynamics and
what it is all about. We have learnt how rockets work and what they do
and how to launch  them. Also, safety hazards and what could
go wrong and one thing you must have is a safety crew
to make sure that you and others are safe to make sure
that nobody gets hurt.



Our rocket did not go as well as we hoped. It only went about 8 meters and then it failed and then we
changed things on our rocket so it would fly better.
We are going to launch our rockets again next week
and that will definitely improve our score.

    I really liked you tell us about something that you are learning about.
    I learnt how to make a rocket from the steps at the top.
