Wonder Project

This week on Wednesday only Troy came to our school because Gustavo had to stay home & look after his wife. On Wednesday for the Wonder Project we all talked about thrust, weight and when a rocket drags. I learned that a rocket needs stability, thrust and drag to make it fly up in the air but when the thrust runs out the rocket goes down because of the weight and drag. Once we finished talking about that we all went out on the deck to watch a couple of people test the launcher and it worked. Then we all went back into class to work on an activity to create a rocket using shapes then add arrows facing the way it will go with thrust and without thrust. If we finished that we had a chance to start creating the look of our own rocket. Here is a picture of what I did for the activity. Have you done the Wonder project before?
