Water Bottle Rocket Third Launch with Parachute
So I wanted to start off with the video today. So you would think that since we did this for like three days, we would be pretty good at filming. I guess we were wrong because something happened with my iPod and it filmed it upside down. But the evidence is still there, none the less. Anyways, today went pretty well. So last night I had to make a parachute chute. It took me forever to get the darn measurements correct. It was actually supposed to have a diameter of 34 inches, however, it only has 32 inches. Which was funny because I did remember measuring 34 inches but whatever. So today went well if you didn't see the video. We were supposed to reach a 3 second time limit, and we nearly doubled it with 6 seconds. Plus, the parachute deployed! I assumed that if we had a nose, the results would have been better. This is because of air resistance I'm guessing. I'm going to go to Sports Authority on Sunday so Marisa and I can add it to the rocket. Wish us luck!
