Wonder project - Rocket challenge

 Kia Ora Bloggers!,

This term and last term we have been doing the WONDER Project (Rocket challenge). In case you don't know what the Wonder Project is it is a challenge where you make rockets out of fizzy drink bottles and you use water or air pressure to launch them. It has been fun doing the wonder project, we do it every Wednesday. On Thursday this week we did our last test flights. Our Ambassadors are Sihang and Melissa. Sihang is the Ambassador for my 2 classrooms that are doing it together (Hauraki and Manakau). Melissa is the Ambassador for another classroom ( Waitemata ). We made the rockets out of 1.5 litre fizzy bottles. We made the fins and the cones out of paper and cardboard. I had 5 people in my group. There were 3 boys and 2 girls. My group went first to do the final test flight, our fins came off when we launched it. We had to record `the water level, air pressure and how far it went. For the water level we did 350 and the air pressure 60. It went 4.8 feet or meters. 

Blog you later!
