Although we made rockets in the last sections we actually didn't get to test them out and see if they could fly. So for this project we actually got to test them out see if they would fly. This time we really learned about how the fuel works.
Looking Back:
The results that I got from this experiment were really, really good. The little mini rockets flew so far when we lit them up which added so much to the excitement. It was really amazing to finally see a rocket motor that I created work really well. My experiment turned alright because it didn't fly that far it kind of just lifted up and then fall right back down, but at least I got to so other peoples experiments fly far away.
Looking Beyond:
On a molecular level I did noticed that when Andrew lit the fuse it traveled kind of slowly and then once it got into the motor it started burning hard and then a lot of noise and smoke then it took off really fast, some of them flew across the field others almost as I high as the roof of the school. Unfortunately mine flew up like 10ft then fell down.
Looking Inward:
Yes I got desirable results because the rockets worked, but they just did not fly as far as I wanted them too. Somethings that contributed to me having desirable results was me paying close attention when Andrew taught the class how to do it in the morning. It was really helpful how he demonstrated in front of the class because it helped be prepared for when I did the project later.
Looking Outward:
This was a class wide project so I didn't really work in a group with people but we all did the same thing. I think I performed really well on this project because there were a lot of steps that I had to remember and normally I would have forgot the steps but I payed close attention and when I needed help I asked a classmate or Janessa.
Looking Forward:
If I could do this again I would try to make a really cool mini rocket with the same motor because liked this mini motor, I want to experiment more with the set up.
Take aways:
A pretty cool skill I took away from this project is knowing how to make a rocket of sticky notes, foil, sugar, potassium nitrate and a skewer it was literally that simple so I can teach so many people to do this project.
