Now that this project, I feel kind of sad that its over, I had a really really fun time during this project, Making rockets and seeing if they work. This is so far the best project ive ever done, I am glad I finished this project with a really good end, MY rocket flew perfectly fine it went really high and came dow really good, but the parachute didn't eject, it caught fire in the rocket but it burned out really fast. if the rocket launch was bad and it just blew up from the beggingin I would of been sad and begged to do the launch over again. but we ended the project really good and it weas really fun. This was my first time actually making a rocket and launching it . it was a really good and fun expeierence. One thing I was really amazined by was how we can basically make a rocket motor out of anything. Like some of my class amtes made a rocket motor out of sugar! who knew you can make a rocket motor out of sugar!?!? One of the technological things I learned is the placement of the fins on the rocket. Theres math behind it! I thought we just put the fins on and were good, like put them on the end but in reality we had to measure the fins perfectly asnd then find the center of gravity of the rocket and then measure the circumference of the rovket tube and then do something asnd something elser and BAM you found the correct plae the fins should go! I bet that sounds confusing, Same here. During this project I learned that I liked to do the most work just to make sure its finished by the time we need it done, I learned that I liked stuff to be unique not boring like plain or something like I made a Incredibles logo just to purt it on the rocket. I also learned that I liked to take control but I let all take control too. I worked with Kailee and Handy for almost all the projects we did in Chemistry, and I believe we all work good together stuff actually gets donne and we still have fun and talk, I really like the little group we have, I feel like we each did the equal work in every project we had. If I can do this project again I would try to make the rocket lighter, Like take out the parachute and make the bdy out of something really light and make it a bit shorter or even put 2 motors in it. I would use the same motor and fins, The advice I have is to get it done, don't hang around and wait till the last day.
