The Wonder Project - Our Second Test Launch

 Hi Bloggers,

This week we were launching our rockets again. Our rocket had three fins, a nose cone, some designs and our team name. I will tell you what we had done in our session for this week. 

As soon the morning tea bell went we sat down in room 9. Room 6, 8 and 9 were doing this together. This project is meant to be for the year 4, 5 and 6's. We went to room 9 because the hall had juniors in it. We went inside and we talked about Newtons third law of motion. Which is reaction, we watched a video and then some of us blew balloons. We blew them up to know which ones can go higher or lower. 

After this we went to Keith Hay Park which was a minute walk from our school. Room 8 and 9 started at the same time as us. In our class we had six groups. My friend Aarna and her group went first, their groups one had gone low at first and then on their second chance it went further. 

My group went second and our rocket only had two fins left. But then on our second on we had no more fins. For our first test launch we had 350ml of water and 60psi. For our second test launch we put 200ml of water and 40psi.  Our rocket went pretty high on the second launch. Once all the groups had finished then we went back to our school. 

I think that our bottle was really heavy when we were doing our first launch. But our second one went quite high. 

Here are some pictures. 





Have an awesome day.

The Wonder Project

 Hi Bloggers,


This week, for the Wonder project, we looked at health and safety. We also did some test launches with bottles. The Wonder Project is a project where we bring 1.5 litre bottles.  Then we put fins on them and make them into a rocket. We put different amounts of water in. We put pound per square inch (PSI) with a air pump. We used 50-60 PSI. After that we launch them into the sky. Our scientist Colm was taking the test launches with two students.

 Here are some pictures and videos:
