Bellringer Why are rockets able to fly with out large wings like an airplane? List 3 differences between planes and rockets. Copy question

Rocket Parts DRAW

Bellringer What are the main parts of a model rocket? Nose Cone – the nose cone is the leading, tapered or pointed section of the rocket. It helps reduce aerodynamic drag Body tube – the body tube is the central structure of the rocket. It holds the engine, propellant tanks, and payload. Engine – The engine burns the propellant and converts it to exhaust to provide the force (thrust) to accelerate the rocket Fins- the fins help guide the rocket and provide a stabilizing force. Payload – the payload is the cargo to be delivered by the rocket ( such as the Hubble Telescope or International Space Station components). In some cases (like for satellites), it is the system being put directly into space. What is the most important part of a rocket? Explain Copy notes & answer question

Prototype Rocket Name____________________________________Date_______ Design Your Rocket Draw your Prototype rocket below and explain why it will perform based on your past experience.

Prototype Rocket Write a hypothesis regarding how will you be able to create a rocket that will fly true. (straight) and high? What are the components of your rocket and why will it make your rocket fly true? Use an 8x10 printer paper to design to scale your prototype rocket. Write a Theory as to why you feel this rocket will fly better, higher, straighter, etc. with a because statement
