1. Materials: Pencil Notebook Folder 4/1/16 Agenda: Bell work Science Fair – presentations? Make Prism/Cylinder Rockets No gum, candy or chewing please! DO: Today we will present/make prism rockets DQ: How long will your presentation be?

2. Astronomy – Rocketry 4Student is able to teach another student about how to make predictions, test hypothesis and draw conclusions on various rocket designs – (ex: stability, shape, structure) 3Student is able to make predictions, test hypothesis and draw conclusions on various rocket designs – (ex: stability, shape, structure) 2With some help Student is able to make predictions, test hypothesis and draw conclusions on various rocket designs – (ex: stability, shape, structure) 1Even with help, Student is NOT able to make predictions, test hypothesis and draw conclusions on various rocket designs – (ex: stability, shape, structure)

3. Lab report… on going Purpose: Hypothesis: Variables: Dependent: what are we measuring? Independent: What is different between the two rockets? Constant: What did we keep the same?

4. Making Cylinder Rockets Cut a strip of paper for the rocket body (9cm x 28 cm) Roll the paper around the PVC pipe as a form. ( long ways NOT spiral) Tape the seam Cut out a circle (trace the tape) Cut half way into the circle Fold into a point. Cut out three fins Tape the fins to the open end (bottom) of the rocket Bend them outward to space them equally Put your name on the rocket and decorate the outside of it

5. Making Prism Rockets 1. Trace the rocket pattern 3 times on your piece of cardstock 2. Cut out the 3 pieces 3. Press a ruler to the dotted fold lines for the fins and nose cone to get a straight fold 4. Fold the fins outward, facing up toward you 5. Slide the pieces together & match up the sides of the rocket body 6. Place a strip of tape along the seams (DO NOT tape the fins or nose cone pieces yet) 7. Decorate your rockets with your name and other designs 8. Tape a penny securely to the inside (opposite side of designs) of one of the nose triangles 9. Pick up the rocket, bring the 2 side pieces together, and tape the seam 10. Use a glue stick or tape to join the adjacent fins pieces together to make 3 fins. You may also leave the fins untaped to make 3 fins 11. Fold the 3 triangles inward and tape the seams

6. Title I. Problem Write the purpose of this lab in the form of a statement or question here. II. Hypothesis If then because statement goes here. III. Variables Dependent variable: The one you measured Independent variable: The one you changed. Control variable: The things you kept the same. IV. Materials List all materials need using bullet format. V. Procedure Numbered set of specific directions VI. Results Data Table: Create a data table that organizes your results (go to the tab that says “insert” and click “table” – select the number of columns and rows and then fill it in. Graph: Make a double bar graph Scientific Drawing: VII. Data Analysis Write your paragraph that explains the relationship between the two variables by describing the data in detail. HINT - you are measuring flight stability and distance. Make a table that organizes these variables for BOTH rockets. VIII. Conclusion Write a paragraph that answers all of the prompts on your “how to write a lab report” sheet HINT: Interpret the relationship between the two variables (shape & stability/distance). Include the data from your data table and explain what it means. Summarize the experiment. Explain what the variables are and how they are related. Support your data with results from the water bottle launch as well.
