Building Model Rocket Challenge
In class we are building a model rocket. The rockets are about a foot long and they launch far up in the air. We attached a parachute to our rocket so it comes down safely.
Steps for building rocket
- We wrapped paper around a cylindrical tube to make the body of our rocket.
- We then wrapped the paper in gum paper to help support our body.
- Then we cut out the fins and parachute.
- After that we tied strings to the parachute, and glued the fins to the body of our rocket.
