Tom Model Rocket Hypothesis: I think that the rocket will go a couple hundred feet and will start to fall, the parachute will open and it will land safely on the ground. Materials: -Balsa Wood Fins -Plastic Nose Cone -Cardboard Tube -Cardboard Engine Thing -Parachute Procedure: We recently built model rockets. First we made our engine holder things, we made them out of two cardboard washers, a small cardboard tube, string and a small piece of metal. After that we put our fins onto our rocket body, we could file them to any shape, preferably to one that would help it fly. Then we glued the engine thing inside the cone and attached the parachute to the nose cone. This was all we did in the area which is our classroom. When we got to the desert we put our engines in and sent it flying. Conclusion: I accept my hypothesis because my rocket was recorded to fly 583 feet into the air and continued to fall and open its parachute. One of the possible mistakes I could have made was to glue put things in the wrong places.
