We had an amazing time working on the rocket challenge. An awesome man called Daniel Mueller came during the term to teach us about space and aerodynamics.
During the term, we tested and learnt about rockets. The video below is of my team (Apollo Six) launching our test rocket. We did this because we were looking at the aerodynamics of the bottle with no fins or nose cone. We then designed and made our own rockets using L&P bottle and ice cream lids for fins.
I learnt about how rockets worked and why fins are important. By learning about fins, I knew what and how to make and adapt my fins.
All in all, it was an awesome time making and learning about rockets.
