Brian's rocket!!!




The image “http://exploration.grc.nasa.gov/education/rocket/Images/rktbflght.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. In the next 3 weeks we will be making a water rocket that will fly very high (lets hope it will) and come down peacefully with a parachute out and the rocket hanging down below it. Right now we are making the parachute (or finished) then we will be starting to make the rocket body that will be stable enough to fly very high and come down with the parachute out and the rocket below it swaying gently.

Here is a site for you to look at it tells you how to make a water rocket and a water rocket WITH a camera.

This site is the homepage for the making water rocket.

This is the site for the water rocket and the camera

Its is a very good site please go and check it out!

The 3 laws of newton is with the water rocket. We will be using the 1st law.
The 1st law is:
''An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force''


When the water rocket gets pressurized and when i pull the launch thing it will blast off and go very high(maybe to the atmosphere) that the 1st law (i think)

Wow! look at that! the water rocket has blasted off (its only at 1 meter it will go higher I think)
