Scientist Notes:
Observations of Rocket Launch
- Bending of fins (degrees) impacted distance
- Posture affected ability to blow the rocket
- Shape of rocket tip impacted distance and direction
- Wind affected distance
- More weight with same force = less distance
- Degree of launch impacted distance
- 45 degree launch went the furthest
- Moisture collected from blowing rocket caused an increase in weight
- Structural integrity of rocket was compromised with impact of each landing
