Wonder Project Mission 2

This afternoon we were visited by two of our engineers to continue the Wonder Project.

We discussed Rocket Lab.

We also talked about Newton's Laws of Motion and what our rockets need to be able to fly. We thought of thrust, an aerodynamic design, air pressure to create flight, a durable rocket, clear launch and landing site, fuel, some sort of engine.

We also talked about the engineering design process.

Our rockets are going to be made out of plastic bottles - small and light.

How can we make our rockets fly? Why are we making rockets? What can we learn? What can we explore? How do we know we have been successful? How high do we want our rocket to go? How far can it go? How do we measure how high they go?

How is your group going to create your best rocket?
