Rocket Challenge

 This term, we've created bottle rockets that we can launch on the school field. We each had to make groups of at least 4 people. In my group we had Me, Kaylis, Tumoana and Lockeya. We made our group name OTK Bubblestring 364. 

We focused on 6 modules on our work, Force, Aerodynamics, Mission Command, Fly, The Final Blast off and Thrust. We need force so that our rockets can fly high enough in the air. We also need to use aerodynamics to find out how the rocket can go through the air the best way it can. And we need Thrust so we have enough force to go up. We have possitions for people like Chief Engineer, Chief Scientist and Safety Officer. All of these possitions are very important. The Chief Engineer will set the rocket up and launch it. The Chief Scientist will record all data for the mission and the Safety Officer will be in charge of keeping everyone's safety.

The features of the rocket is also very important for the best peformance possible. We need the base, nosecone, fins for the rocket to fly. The most fins you could have would be around 3-4. Any more would add too much weight. The size of those fins can also affect the peformance of your rocket. 

We all used Newton's 3 laws of motion as well. 

1. An object will remain at rest or keep moving forever at the same speed and in a straight line unless there is another force ucting upon it.

2. Force= Mass x Acceleration. The more weight a object has, the more force is needed to make it move.

3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
