Shoot For the Stars

By: Credance Lundgren

Over the school year the freshman class have been building rockets to shoot off. In this, every student had a partner to build the rocket with. The class that the freshmen were building this in is physical science.

In this project all of the group had pipes to be the middle of the rocket, they then attached that to the point of the middle of the rocket to make the top of the rocket. At the bottom of the rocket were three wings that they glued on the bottom. The groups then had to write up their logo for the individual rocket that they had made. After that was all done, they were allowed to color and decorate the rocket. Lastly they were all able to put on the logo after it was printed.

Now it was the time that the class had been waiting for the whole time, time to shoot off the rockets. Right before the class could do this they had to put a parachute in the rocket in order to successfully follow to see where the rocket had dropped.

The day came to shoot off the rockets. They shot off three. The first rocket landed in the tree after being shot off, the second rocket was lost and was not able to find it after it was shot off, and the last rocket was shot off and landed on the side where we were standing. Finally a successful shoot and a very happy class.
