1)What is it going to look like?
My partner and I decided on making a medium sized rocket so it won't be too big or too heavy for the small motor so we are going to make everything out of some materials that aren't so heavy.
2)Can we put our ideas on paper?
Our rocket is going to be 24' inches for the length body of the rocket body and the width is 1.80' inches which we are going to make out of brown thick paper. The nose cone is being made out of balsa wood and the dimensions for it are 8' inches for the length and the width is 1.79' inches. The fins are going going to be made out of balsa wood also and the measurements are 4' inches for the width and the length is 8' inches. For the parachute we used the parachutes that come with the little toy soldiers and we taped two of the parachutes together so it would be a big rectangle.
3)How are we going to make this happen?
My partner and I decided on making our rocket body by using a pvc pipe and cutting out strips of brown thick paper then we are going to wrap the layers around the pvc pipe at an angle and put wood glue on each layer so it would stay together and so it could be a strong durable tube for the rocket body. For the fins we are going to use balsa wood. We had trouble choosing what design we want for our fins but then we just figured out on just making simple fins the also can have the rocket stand. For the nose cone we also used balsa wood but it was a cube of balsa wood i had to cut it down to the size i wanted it then i used a sander to shape the nose cone to the shape and size that we wanted the nose cone to be.
