Bottle Rocket Draft

Your Bottle Rocket Draft will come in three steps:

Step I:  What was the process of building and creating your launcher?  What materials did you use?  What techniques did you use?  Remember that the criteria here is that anyone should be able to read your paper and recreate a functional launcher.

Step II:  What was the process of building and crating your vessel, and how did you launch the vessel?  What materials did you use?  What modifications did you make and why?  Remember that the criteria here is that anyone should be able to read your paper and recreate a functional vessel similar to yours.

Step III:  What observations did you make during the launching process?  Did this lead you to make any changes in your launcher or vessel?  If so, what changes did you make and why?  What data did you collect and why?  What made your launcher most effective?  What variables did you test and how did you test them?  What did you find out?

At this point you should be able to write most of steps 1 and 2, but not necessarily finish them.  We are just starting step 3, so you should hold off on writing that one.

Let me know if you have any questions.

  1. Can you possibly post the building process for the rocket launcher?
    I really can't remember the order of the whole process.
