Today I finished up all of my launches for my straw rockets. Now I am starting on lab two which will be varying in variables by changing up the mass of the cone heads on our rockets. I did several didn't trials and collected different data with each launch.
Today I got my first trial done with Rocket A and B. Both rockets have been made out of straws, a little bit of clay and some post cards. I had to be careful and make sure everything was the same size and the two clay cones weigh the same. We didn't want any variable to change other than the length of the rockets. I made a hypothesis that my longer rather would go father than my shorter rocker. So far I have figured out that my shorter rocket has a shorter distance rather than my longer rocket. I discovered that the independent variable is the length of the rocket. The dependent variable is the distance the rocket traveled.
