For the past eight weeks we have been working with a pair of experts from The Wonder Project. The Wonder Project is a group of people that come to schools and teach them about bottle rockets and help launch the rockets. Troy and Gustavo were the people who taught us about rockets, Troy is a Rainwater Engineer and Gustavo is an Pomologist. A Rainwater Engineer works with Rainwater; and a Pomologist works with plants, did you know Gustavo created the red kiwifruit. We learnt different things about bottle rockets, such as: Newton's Three Laws of Motion and the three forces such as thrust, weight and drag. When we did our final launch all together my group and I thought it would be the best rocket but it wasn’t. One of the groups rocket went 79.4 meters.
Have you ever launched a bottle rocket before?
