The Wonder Project - Designing our rockets

This week 7&8 SWL has started designing our rockets. First we each designed our ideal rocket on paper and then spoke with our ambassador about our designs. Next in our groups we put our designs together and started building our prototypes. We are using 1.5L carbonated bottles as the base of our rocket and a range of other recycled materials for the fins, nose cone and decorations. 

Here are some photos from our first lesson designing our prototypes.

1st Launch Rocket Project - By Devon

On Friday we all started our test launch with our rockets.Me,Hunter and Havin made it we made our rocket with an Sprite bottle , the wings were made with red card and our bottle cone was made out of a bottle but I do not know what bottle it was.Sadly I never watched most of the launch only my and Kobain's groups rocket but lets start with Kobain's it was tilted for some reason and it did not go high but ours went straight and went high.At the end of the day we knew that we did a pretty good job.

My test flight - by Lucy

 In My Class we have been learning about rockets. Zeph, Keira and I made a rocket together. we put our names on it and we put a parachute in the nose cone that was made out out a plastic bag. when we did our first launch it flew into the air on the side and the nose cone didn't come off the top so that made the parachute onto work because it did not fill up with air.
