The Wonder project

 Salut les blogueurs,


In the senior school we been have been learning about rocket designs and Newton's Laws of Motion. We have learnt about how to be safe when launching your rockets. There are some important safety rules that you need to follow when launching a rocket here are some of them are:

  • wait until the rockets has landed before you go to retrieve it
  • don't launch your rocket when it is a windy or rainy day
  • wear safety googles and a hi-vis vest 

We also learnt about the part of the rockets are like:
  • the top of the rocket is called a nosecone 
  • 4 forces thrust, drag,weight and lift


We learnt how to launch a rocket like:
  • no more then 60pis or it will explode 
  • lots of water = FAILURE (won't go high or it won't fly)


we learnt how to create rockets using bottle, we used cardboard to make fins and PAPER planes 


My favourite part is when we finally got to launch the rockets

something I found challenging was making the rockets 

would I like to do something like this? YES! 

here is a video and a image of my group called shiners
