Conclusion

Of our three rocket flights, our first was the most successful. We reached a height of 67 feet with the rocket separation, successful parachute opening, and a safe egg landing. The only downside of our launch was not hitting the 75 feet mark, though 67 feet is still respectable. Our second was moderately successful withContinue reading “Conclusion”

Results

In this part we are going to talk about the changes we made throughout the process to our final launch. Preliminary, we said we were going to have the egg separate in its own compartment and have the parachute only attached to that part, rather than have the egg in the top half of theContinue reading “Results”

Materials and Procedure

Procedure To begin, we did not immediately go to building. What we first did was go to the drawing board. We drew all the key components of the rocket such as the parachute, wings, and nose cone and talked about how we would protect the egg and make the bottle separate. After agreeing on anContinue reading “Materials and Procedure”

Goal

This lab main objective of this lab is to launch a projectile into the air while passing certain criteria given by the lab. The purpose of the lab is to discover and understand how to use and counteract physical properties to make a projectile fly high and straight, and how to use physical principles toContinue reading “Goal”
