Balloon car rocket project

1. Balloon car rocket project First and last names hour

2. Intro results… How far? How much mass? Pic of car?** Special features?** Design strategy? Group roles? ** “pictures paint a thousand words”

3. Testing Results • Describe all tests/ experiments that you performed. summarize the data, and what conclusions were drawn to help make a better car. • Also, summarize the research you did (include link and description of site). Example: Rocket nozzle test: We set up an experiment to determine which rocket nozzle performed the best. We used a regular balloon as a control, a straw, and a 2 liter pop bottle top. We tried each nozzle on our prototype and found the pop bottle top created the greatest force to overcome the inertia of the car.

4. Newtons 1st law • Describe Newton’s 1st law in your own words • Describe, in detail, how Newton’s 1st law applied to your car. • Show specific pictures of the features of your car that relate to the 1st law. Include a brief description.

5. Newton’s 2nd law • Describe Newton’s 2nd law in your own words • Describe, in detail, how Newton’s 2nd law applied to your car. • Show specific pictures of the features of your car that relate to the 1st law. Include a brief description.

6. Newton’s 3rd law • Describe Newton’s 3rd law in your own words • Describe, in detail, how Newton’s 3rd law applied to your car. • Show specific pictures of the features of your car that relate to the 1stlaw. Include a brief description.

7. Individual reflection In paragraph format use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation, include the following: • Summarize Newton’s laws in your own words. Give an example of each law. • Summarize how you applied Newton’s laws to your car. Include specific design features. • Reflect on the most important thing you learned from this experience and what you understand the least.
