Rocket flight results!

 Hello bloggers! on Monday we got to test our rockets out and send them on a test flight. we flew our rocket...  and it was a bit disappointing. one of the fins fell off, and the rocket itself tumbled to the floor. here are our results we gathered and overall score.

The fins were uneven and unstable. We used 3 fins, and we think 4 would be good next time.

The nose cone was surprisingly sturdy for not being glued or taped onto the rocket. 

The weight may have been too much. Next time we could add 2 hex nuts to go higher.

The water was fine. We used 260.  We might add more to get more thrust.

The psi was as much as we could go, 60. I think we should lower it but by a small amount

I would give it a 4/10. It went poorly and it definitely needs improvements.

But next time, me and my rocket team will make sure to make it excellent.

See you next time!

Samoan Conversation!

Hello bloggers! Today for Samoan language we did a slide or a scratch on a Samoan conversation. it's about two characters having a conversation in Samoan. I did Mario and toad on a beach, talking to each other. the grey text under the black text is what the Samoan means in English. I hope you enjoyed, and please give me feedback!

Space project!

Hello bloggers! on Tuesday we started a project with 4 other people. 3 scientists came to school and they told us about what they did. we got paired with someone who helped protect floods and put up flood banks.

but the project we were going to do was to construct a rocket and launch it. not a million-dollar rocket, but a  small rocket that would be powered by a chemical reaction of some sort. I and some friends got together and created a group. we all sorted out jobs for us. I got the job geographer. I'm not sure what a geographer at a rocket launch does since it's quite hard to find out on google and I don't know anyone who's a geographer, but I'm sure I'll find out soon.

apart from that, have a good week and I'll see you next time!
