To practice each step of a simple scientific investigation, we built and launched ROCKETS!
We began by creating a testable question, researching some background information about rockets, and making predictions about how far the rockets would launch! Our testable question was-"How long should a paper rocket cylinder be to make the rocket launch the farthest distance?" The girls made predictions about-If I made the rocket ---- inches, my rocket will launch ---- feet.
Next, we gathered our materials and came up with steps to create our rockets.
After gathering our paper, rulers, etc. we were ready to start building!
After getting our rockets measured, decorated, and launch-ready, we were ready to blast off!!
We used the launcher to launch our rockets and measure the distance that they traveled! Which would travel farther-rockets with a longer or a shorter distance??
A huge shout-out to Jadyn's mom and Kassidy's mom who helped us with measuring the rocket's distance and setting up the launcher!! :)
3, 2, 1...BLAST OFFFFF!!
Stay tuned to see how our predictions compared to the results and see how we graphed our results and looked for patterns!
