Bottle Rocket Assignment A bottle rocket is a bottle in which air and water is placed under pressure before the bottle is released in an upward
direction. In this assignment, you will construct a bottle rocket in groups of three using your knowledge of Newton’s
Law of motion. Task
1.
Construct a bottle rocket similar to the image on the right. Your rocket must have the following properties, have
a cone nose, fins and a parachute that opens when the rocket is launched. 2.
Launch the rocket. Make sure to note down your observations of the distance (this will be included in your
report) 3.
Create a report with the following information. Report is individual for each group member. a.
Pick a country
that does space exploration and write a brief description of what they do. Each
student must pick a different country to do the research on. b.
Use the concepts of dynamics to explain how rockets work when they are launched and also
how they are able to travel in space
c.
Describe how rockets/ space exploration impacts society and environment, in reference to
your chosen country.
d.
A labeled diagram of your rocket e.
Observation table of what happened on lunch day (altitude triangulated by a clinometer)
f.
Reflection: Discuss how your rocket worked in terms of height compared to other groups, did
your parachute work and improvement that you would make to your rocket.
g.
Reference list. Make sure to include in-text citations Rocket Flight Data Collection Sheet

Unique
and creative design
of the rocket. Included all
required elements such as the nose cone, sleeve,
parachute and fins. Constructed a rocket that was somewhat
unique
. Includes all required elements
such as nose cone, sleeve, parachute and
fins Constructed a typical designed rocket.
Included most of the required elements such
as the cones, sleeve , parachute and fins.
Constructed a

that is Messy and parts are falling apart. /4
The rocket was able to successfully launch
and the
parachute was deployed after
reaching max height The rocket was able to successfully launch
and the parachute deployed before or
during
launch. The rocket was able to launch
, and the
parachute
was not able to deploy
or came
off during launch The rocket was unable to launch and d
id
not have a parachute /4
