The wonder project- Aerodynamics

 Kia ora bloggers,

Yesterday for The Wonder Project, the seniors had to work on their rockets. We talked stability and how the rocket could fly. We also talked about aerodynamics. 

For the project, we had to tie a string to the middle of the bottle and it had to balance on each side. We then marked the spot where it was balanced. 

After, we had to trace the bottle on a big piece of cardboard and cut it out. We had to have 3 or 4 fins on our rocket, if we put 1 or 2 it wouldn't fly in the right direction. It was very fun making making the rocket and cutting it out. Hot glue was used to attach the fins to the rocket. 

Here are some photos that were taken during the project.







It was great working on The Wonder Project this week and I cant wait to do it again.
