K2's Hydro rocket

Day one

We gathered up and our teacher told us to gather together and find a partner and me and Dercen grouped up. Mrs.Nelson our teacher asked us a question "how does a balloon go side ways"? she said and so then we got to work. Me and Dercen took balloons, scissors, straws and a strings from the work shelf counter. We got some ideas from Shin and Satoshi's project then we made a three balloon but it failed...

Day two

Today we made parachutes for our rockets and it was fun! I drew a vampires face on the parachute. I felt evil but I did not know why.

Day three

Our teacher brought rubbing alcohol to class and a soft drink bottle and put the alcohol in the bottle and put on a cork on top with a hole in the middle for the air from the pump. Then Ms.Nelson asked a volunteer to pump the pump ten times and the volunter was me. So then I pumped it ten times then POOF!! LOTS of clouds came out of the bottle and that was cool.
