Rocket experiment

 Hello bloggers.

This week, on Tuesday, we were making paper rockets. Our teacher, Mr Riceman, tested it first. Some of us predicted how far it would go. When he first tried, it did not go then we told him how to improve his design, then it worked but only went a small distance. For the topping some kids said that it looked like a Chinese tradition hat. The teacher let us choose which one we wanted to do the the paper one or the virtual. Some people chose the paper, but I chose the virtual. When you did it you had to try not to blow the rocket ship up. It was easy until Mr Riceman told us to put the drag and mass on. I tried a lot but I didn't get it correct until the last time...I tried - I did it! We learned what the distance from one side of the circle to the opposite side is called the diameter.  From halfway across the circle to the outside edge is called the radius. Here is the link to what we did.
