Wonder Project Final Rocket Launch

 3, 2, 1 launch

Talofa Lava Bloggers! 

Today I will be blogging about our wonder project and our final launch. Term 3 &4 we have been working with a scientist, our ambassador Melissa to work towards building a rocket. My groups name was Incredible Thinkers and I was with Faith, Anthony, and Yousuf. Our first test flight we used a plastic 1.5 litre bottle with the top of another bottle to be our nose cone. We also used cardboard to make some fins for the rocket and stuck them on with some hot glue. It was fine though because if we did it fast it wouldn't melt the plastic. 

Our rocket didn't go very far so we made some modifications for our final flight. We made the fins bigger and we used a different bottle for the nose cone. When we went outside we waited for our turn we launched our rocket but then it nose dived straight down to the ground. We added 250mls and we used a pump to add pressure to the water and that's how we launched our rocket. 

My groups rocket only went 14 metres and the furthest one went 35.6 metres. 

Maybe next time to make our rocket go further we could add some weight and add some more fins. I still loved the rocket and it was really fun!

Here is the video of our rockets launch, and some photos!
