Day #3
Today was day number 3. Bronson decided that his rocket was best, so i made a second rocket to see who's was better. Bronson's rocket was the same as day two, with a parachute add on. My rocket however had water in the tip to add mass. The time of Bronson's rocket was 6.98 seconds. The time of my rocket was 7.96. Therefore showing that my rocket building skills are superior to Bronson's. After testing our rockets, we decided to put our ideas together to make a good team rocket. This will consist of a parachute with water on the top. The extra mass will propel the rocket higher and the parachute will keep it in the air longer. But we will come back to day #4 with a new rocket and a new design.

I like the idea of making 2 different rockets and comparing their results to find out what worked and what did not. Are you planning on adding a cone to the top so that it will be more aerodynamic?
ReplyDeleteI also love the idea of how you guys made two different rockets.
ReplyDeleteCompetition is always good and you both made pretty awesome rockets with those times :)
I like your ideas for your rockets put together.
I think that your ideas are great, especially the whole water in the tip because I never would've thought of that!
Keep working together and I'm sure you guys will have an amazing next launch :D
