The Rocket Project
Rocket project, the biggest project that can replace the midterm exam. We must design our own rocket and launcher that need to fit to the concept of physics, and prepare the material that we are going to use as the energy to launch the rocket. This is a challenge for us, because we must hit the target that it far away from the start line, this mean we need to control the amount of the chemical very carefully. We do meet many difficulty during the whole report, and we feel it is very tough in somehow. Our group keep changing the design of the rocket, and change the size of bottle, too. The group member meet at my house everyday when we have a time to figure out how can we improve, and we kind of success. When the time we try to launch at my house, we do fly for a distance of 12 meters, that makes me feel excited and stop feeling helpless, but when we come to school, the reaction take way too long then we think, which we fail the trail. In the end we do not reach the target, and fail the tries in school, this is quite sad but we also find lots of places that we can improve in the project. From the project we learn about how to work as the team, to finish the tough report that we have to submit,this is a very good chance to learn and practice how to corporate with others.
ESLOs: Strategic Learners, Innovative Thinkers
For the Strategic learner, this project give us a chance to reflect on our learning and how our mistakes help us to improve, such as redesign the rocket after we figure out that we did wrong. And for Innovative thinker, we can be creative and original during this whole project, because we need to create our own rocket and launcher, which you can't really copy others ideas from internet, and you must think, brainstorm by yourself.
Lastly, these below are what we had done in this project.
