The Rocket Challenge


At the start of this term we started the rocket challenge. We had a man called Daniel give up his time to come in and teach us about engineering. He taught us about aerodynamics, gravity, air pressure and more. Then we started to build our rockets. Yesterday we launched our rockets. First off Drew Annelise and Haki launched there rocket it went 113 meters. Then at the end we launched our rocket it didn't go to far but our parachute worked beautifully. I think that we need to make our fins smaller and further down my rocket so that it can go a lot further.

    I really liked that you had a video that was showing us what you were talking about.
    I learnt that you learnt about aerodynamics and gravity, air pressure and more.
    Maybe you could explain how you powered your rocket with.
    Why did you learnt about rockets and aerodynamics?
