The Wonder Project - Newton's Law (Session 3)

 Hi Bloggers,

This time (for the Wonder Project) we had our third session. If you didn't know what the Wonder Project is then you should look at my old post. Today we were learning about Newton's laws. The three laws are: The law of motion, The law of directions and one more which I don't remember. When we were at the hall then we were doing an amazing experiment. We had 3 tables with three bottles at each tiny table. Three people would go up and they would stand there until they are told to start. There is a sheet underneath the three bottles. One bottle half way, one empty and one full. You are meant to pull the sheet and only one is meant to fall. The one that falls is the one without water and sometimes the one full of water. My classmate, Haunga did it in one go.  A lot of people were able to do it. After that we were drawing a rocket in our groups. When we came back to our class we were given papers to draw our own rockets but not in groups, independently. Then we got together and chose a design that your group likes. My group liked my designs and my fins. 

Here are some pictures and videos:

These were the rocket designs:

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.
