Bottle Rockets

Room 11's topic last term was Space!

 Our way of finishing the term off was flying our homemade bottle rocket. A few weeks before term 3 ended, Mr Smith told us about bottle rockets and explained how to make them and what we need to make them.


By the time we were all finished it was term 4. So we went out on the second day, a few of us got ours flown. Some of the bottles didn't fly because the shape was different at the top? 


Mitchell had the longest time in the air with 4:74. Mitchell's design was very unique, he had a large weight at the top of his rocket, what also made it unique was the shape of his rocket like a cone. Soon after him was Charles with 4:20. The shortest time was Sam L with 1.46. But lots of people didn't actually fly there's.


Some people had heaps of cool designs and paintings on there bottle!


This is Finn flying his bottle rocket that went 3:06. :)
