on tuesday me and my mum made straw rockets.
there these things where you use a straw to shoot them out and this is how far they went.
Rocket 1 was the big rocket we made it out of paper. It travelled much slower due to its size going 2 metres distance. Our smaller Rocket 2 travelled much further at 6.5 metres distance. So i learned the lighter rocket went further than the heavier rocket because the heavier rocket pulled it down or mabye because it was broken.
This is great Noah! Rocket 2 was much more efficient travelling a lot further than Rocket 1. What was the difference in the distance travelled between Rocket 1 vs Rocket 2?
ReplyDeleteKa pai Noah! Your straw rockets look great and you have thought about why one rocket flew further than the other. I like how you have included the picture on your blog post and have put some writing on it so that we understand what is happening. How many times did you fly and measure the straw rockets?
ReplyDeleteI played with it a couple times and flyer it a couple of times
DeleteGreat work Noah! The picture with the added drawings are very helpful. I like that you wrote about your thinking about why one went further than the other. I am wondering if there was any difference in the design of each rocket, apart from the sizes?
ReplyDeleteThere wasn’t ant other designs there all the same
DeleteHi Noah,
ReplyDeleteWhat fun making rockets and testing them, it also involved lots of learning as well, as you have discovered. Well done.
