Going for Blast Off!

By definition, a scale model is a smaller model of a larger object. These models are often used for a visual aid or testing the design of an object, such as a vehicle or building, in an early stage of development.

Its Your Turn!

Directions 1. On the graph paper provided, sketch in detail what you want the rocket that you build this week to look like.

2. Now sketch on a second sheet of graph paper the example shown of what your water rocket should look like. Remember to use your ruler.

3. Choose a bottle that will become the body of your rocket. Use this bottle to help you determine the scale factor of the clay model that you are building.
4. You may need to measure some of the other rocket parts to make sure you are building these to scale with your clay. 5. Label each part of the rocket on the paper you are given as you see on the next slide.

To Start, You will need: 1. One plastic bottle and one piece of sand paper.
-With the sand paper, sand the sides of the bottle. ***Why do we need to do this?

2. Fin patterns, foam sheets, permanent markers, scissors. -Determine what size and shape fin you think would work best on your rocket body and create these with your pattern.

3. Fin guides, permanent markers, fins, hot glue gun, hot glue sticks. *** Note- Please use caution when handling the hot glue. Do not put it on or near the skin.

With the hot glue gun and glue, attach the fins to your bottle. To help you decide the appropriate placement of the fins, think the appropriate size and shape the body of your rocket will require.

While you take turns gluing and giving your rockets time to dry, continue to take pictures and video with the digital and flip cameras.

4. You will need paper, to cover bottle and tube, cardboard tube, string and ball. - Begin coloring and decorating the paper to cover the body and tube of your rocket. Be creative!

Attach the decorated paper to the body and tube of the rocket with hot glue. b. Attach the cardboard tube to the bottom of the bottle with the hot glue gun. c. Attach one end of the string to the inside of the cardboard tube with hot glue. d. Attach the other end of the string to the ball with the hot glue. -Take turns with others while your glue is drying.

Weather can change rocket movement and flight path. Humid air is not as dense as dry air and this lower density will lower the drag on the rocket, increasing the rockets altitude. It is also best to fly rockets on hot days. Higher air temperatures mean that there are lower air densities and this will cause decreased drag on the rocket. Wind will cause the rocket to fly in an arc rather than flying straight up, and maximum altitude will not be achieved
