We had a balloon experiment and we thought it will be easy but it was really hard!!!

We competed with our classmates for how far the balloon will fly with no helium and it wasn't

such a success. We watched a video about how things fly and the difference about gliding and jets. We had more experiments instead of just making rockets. We had a experiment like, putting a balloon on a straw and making it go. We also had a experiment where we got alka seltzer and water and put it inside a film case to make it fly. The other experiment was when we got rubbing alcohol and put a cork on the bottle so the air won't escape and we got a bicycle pump and pumped it ten times and it made a cloud like thing.

Rocket making

We made rockets with parts like the tail or the wings and the body and we even added a parachute system in the rocket. We put on a cone to stop the drag effecting the speed of the rocket and when the rocket meets apogee the cone will help the parachute to come out.
We also have to calculate how much water we would put in the rocket using a site called: http://extension.osu.edu/~rockets/demorocket.html
Then after that we whet for the launch!
It was really cool!
These are the results:
Shin 32 ft
Mathew 21.6 ft
Gianina 80 ft
Dercen 27.2 ft
Alan 32 ft
Satoshi 28.8 ft
Albert 32 ft
Theoren 35 ft
