BOTTLE ROCKET MISSION.

Your mission if you choose to accept it is to build your very own bottle rocket with your group. There are many different ways to build a bottle rocket, but most have a lot of similarities between them. It is up to your group to decide which design you believe will work the best.

You are to research at home
You are to design and make at school
It is due at the conclusion of Science and Technology lesson in Week 8.

Science lessons are on Thursday.

Week 7- Come prepared with facts and ideas to discuss with your team during your science lesson. You will come up with a design and list of materials you need to build.
Week 8- Come to your lesson with materials and and equipment to build your rocket.
Week 9- Launch Date.

Some things your team will need to decide include:

Do you want a parachute/ no parachute

Will you use a tennis ball weight/ clay weight

Will you build one bottle rocket/ 2 bottle rockets.

Type and number of rocket fins you want to use in your design.

Will you follow one set of directions, or make your own using a combination of a few procedures?

Here is a list of instructions and tutorials for you to look through. It is up to your team to decide what you are going to ultimately do.
