This pdf gives you different methods that you can apply to your soda-bottle rocket. It breaks down the different parts of the rocket and how they are constructed. It sums up the rocket between three parts: the body, the nose cone, the fins, and the parachute. It also gives you hints on how to modify the rocket according to how you want to rocket to fly. An example is in the fins. If you want the rocket to fly straighter, you have to make the fins long. It also gives the reasoning behind each method, which helps the students learn the physics part. Hopes this helps whoever reads this. I liked this site because it also gives pics. which are really helpful in making your rocket. Follow the post and head off to the pdf to get started on building your very own soda bottle rocket!!! :)
Good post! This pdf was very educational but, more importantly, it was easy to understand. As I read specific sections, "rocket engineering" and "parachutes", it educated me about the construction of the rocket itself and how it is important that parachutes need to deploy on time.Very helpful!
