Black Powder Day 6:
With our first experiment, we tested out black powder for our rocket fuel. Our hypothesis was that the finer the powder, the easier it would be to light on fire.
*On our first attempt we used the following ingredients:
- 1 gram of Carbon
- 1 gram of Sulfur
- 1 gram of Potassium nitrate
This first attempt had a very fine texture to it and it had a small flame.
* On our second attempt we used the following ingredients:
- 2 grams of Carbon
- 2 grams of Sulfur
- 4 grams of Potassium Nitrate
This second and final attempt had no specific texture to it.
