For the past two days in one of my periods we have been launching rockets. In these past two days there have been fails and successes. My partners and I made a rocket and our launch was a success. The goal of this is to carry an egg on it and make it survive. We had to take our plan from our egg drop design but make it smaller so it will fit on the top of a rocket. At first we didn't know how to do it. Our egg drop design was basically a box with a sponge and a parachute.
We decided to make a smaller box and cut the sponge smaller from our original design and put it in the box. My teacher said that we shouldn't have any flat top boxes and that if someone were to a box design that we should put a pyramid on top so it wouldn't create so much drag on the flight. When we launched our rocket was amazing in my opinion. We launched it and then at the last minute the parachute deployed. We had one of the engines that had a seven second wait and then it would deploy. So yeah it was fun and I will see you guys later.
