What Happened:
Today, we worked on our rocket design. We originally had a design already, but the one who designed it was WAY more advanced in rocketry then the rest of our group. Nick broke off from our group to help people who really needed it and we have to make a new one.
What's the Science:
Not much science going on.
Results:
My group and I started designing a new rocket. We're still getting advice from other groups and our teacher but it's coming along. My group and I don't know a whole lot about rockets but I feel we have a good design so far. We based it off on the one we built with Nick but made some changes. Our fins are going to be a bit smaller and they're just going to be normal triangles. Our nose cone is going to be a bit pointier but not too pointy because it could hurt someone if it landed on them.
Collaboration:
Our original group was Nick, Lupe, Madi, and I, but Nick left the group due to his advanced knowledge of rocketry. I enjoyed working with Nick but he moved on to help other groups. Lupe, Madi and I are working well but we miss Nick.
What Next:
After our critique, we will finalize our design and then start constructing our rocket.
