Final Rocket Launch

 Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Inquiry Task We Had To Video Our Final Outcome/Video Of Our Rocket Launch. In the previous Post with our Rocket Slide Show Presentation, we had all of the given information about our Rockets and our Rocket that had our "Three Rocket Launchers" Logo on it and it was a clear 1.5-litre bottle. However, we have now modified this and we painted our Rocket Pink including the Fins and the Nose Cone. Once we went up to launch as we were pressurising the water to 60Psi, the paint on our Rocket made our bottles dried paint crack into minuscule pieces and one of our fins flew off. Next, as we were giving our final countdown to launch our Rocket, it flew on an average 20 meters and flew for 3.75 seconds. Next time I think that we should have kept our Rocket how it was before because the paint put a major effect on this process. From the following weeks, we have been creating an Imovie about this Term during our Wonder Project and all of the events that have occurred including our Swing Test, Centre of Mass and our final rocket launch. What is your project from this Term?

Rocket Test Flight

 Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Learning Task For Inquiry Is Reporting Back On Our Rocket Test Flight. On Thursday, we had to create a Presentation that deflected on The Fins, Nose Cone, Weight, Water, Psi (Per Square Inch) And Our Overall Flight Success. Next, we had to present our reflection of our Rocket in front of the class, so if anyone had to change anything or make something different to improve their design, they could report back or take notes. For my group, we used four fins placed around the 1.5-litre bottle evenly. To get the rectangular shape we had to trace it using cut out card. For our Nose Cone and Weight, we used three Hex-Nuts that were placed around the outside edge with Sticky Tape around it to keep it secure. 

When we went outside to Test our Rocket we used 280ml of Water and turned the dial on the Pressure Gage to 60Psi. When we Tested our Rocket it glided to the other side of the field while rotating on a 360 Degree Angle, once it landed other than one fin falling off we glued it back on and our Nose Cone, as it acted as a Parachute was needed to sellotaped while being attached to the bottle. Each Inquiry Session, our Group takes Notes and has created a Slide Show to represent all of the work we have completed, and for the parents or caregivers to see on the Launch Day. Have you launched your own Water Rocket Before, and what was your final outcome of the process?

Rocket Animation

 Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Learning Task For Continuing On With Our Inquiry Is Creating Our Individual Rocket Animation. As for the past Term we have been learning about the Fundamental Science of a Rocket, using a Pressure Gage to launch our Rockets that has to be filed under 60 PSi and our Rocket Engineers have demonstrated some of these aspects. This Afternoon, our Teacher set us a Task and included in the Animation we had to include a Diagram and the Forces of a Rocket. This Includes the Thrust, Weight, Drag and Lift. We also had to show the developing process of the Rocket launching off into our Solar System. At the end of this Term, we will be using, precisely, one-litre bottles and creating plastic fins attached with other essential items. Have you learnt about the Diagram of the Rocket?

Parachute For Rocket Challenge

 Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Learning Task For Our Rocket Challenge Inquiry Is To Be Able To Construct And Build Our Own Parachute. Our Initial Design Process was a range of fabrics conjoined together to make a curved shape. We then added Masking Tape to help hold everything together and finally string that attached the two Hex - Nuts. Our second Design Process Involved us using Bubble Rap, Masking Tape to hold the String and finally the Hex - Nuts. By using the String and Inter Twining it together created a curved shape. With all of the Materials we used with our Design, we didn't want to add to many materials or else it would go straight down which had a lighter Material will cause it to go slower. Our Challenge Today, Is The Parachute with the slowest time wins. Our Parachute, However, Didn't go as planned as we only started with a small-time Frame. Our Parachute started with a nice flow then went straight to the ground, our time in Mid - Flight was 1.4 Seconds. Once we had finished creating our Parachute we created a slide that had our Begging, Middle and End Evaluation Plan and Outcome. Have you constructed your own Parachute before and added the certain Steps?
