rocket project
The Rocket project was about force, vectors and a little bit of Newtons Laws. How I made the rocket was 2lt bootless, special glue and plexiglass. First cut the the bootless than glue them to together and after that. Next cut out the fins with the plexiglass glass and glue it on to the rocket.

Rocket Reflection
By Ben Clark
What went well on our rocket was that it did not blow up. Also it got off the launch pad and went 32.95 feet in the air. And the parachute opened and at the right time.
What did not go well for my partner and me? That it did not go as high as we expected or as straight. Because it was windier then we expected then at the test launch site. The chambers got crushed and detach it from the rudders.
What I would do differently if I had to do it over? Make it longer and start with a different design. The rocket body was crooked which made it fly the way it was curved. It was not long it enough to go the height that we wanted it to go.
The design I would take from is Dillon Kruse’s because his went the highest and was a great design. It has everything that we need, length, aerodynamic and thrust. For the nose cone JJ and Summer’s is the one I liked the best and also for the parachute, I would not change it. Ours opened at the correct time that we need it to open.
The rocket in my opinion which was a failure was Josh’s. Because it went three feet off the ground. I think that it when three off the ground is it was too heavy with all of that tape on it. And it did not produce enough power with the washer in it to get it off the ground.
What I will do to refine the exhibition? I would make the water filling tables taller, make the holes on the rocket launcher a little bit bigger so the pins can go in and out easer. The tables should be taller to fill the rockets, like Dillon’s Kruse rocket it could not fit within the parameters of a table. Why a bit bigger on the holes so the pins can go in and out easier other than jiggling the holders to get the pins in the holes so you can just slide it in.
What I feel about my exhibition overall is I want to get held back in Physics again for this project. This project was so much fun is that it taught me to use my time wisely with the amount of time that you are given.
