Rocket Project
We were assigned the Rocket Project about two weeks ago. The Rocket Project required us to make a rocket out of a plastic bottle. Luckily, I was paired with a good partner, so the project wasn't very hard. We actually were rolling along pretty well, and our rocket looked pretty good, but then we hit a bump in the road. The wings wouldn't stay glued to our rocket. The way we had to glue them made it so that they kept sliding off, so we had to start over with about a week left. We decided to go with something pretty simple, a single rocket with four fins and a regular parachute. It looked pretty good the day of the launch and my partner, being the one in charge, had me take the rocket to the exhibition. On the way there, though, the rocket fell apart. One of the wings broke and the parachute fell completely off. After I told my partner, she flipped out on me. We decided to launch it anyways, although it didn't do very well. It went about five feet off the ground and flew into the crowd. Although our rocket was a failure, I had a good time on this project.
