2. Wrap the 1 piece of paper around the straw. Begin with your paper at a diagonal.
3. Tape the paper to stay in a tube form but not stuck to the straw. 4. Fold top of tube down and tape to be airtight. 5. Cut three 5cm x 5cm squares from remaining paper. 6. Fold the squares to make triangles. 7. Fold edges of one of the open ends of triangle back 1cm to make them easier to tape to the tube.
8. Tape the three triangles onto the tube close to the open end and evenly spaced
9.When instructed to do so, insert straw into open end and blow to launch rocket. Analyze Data: Record and calculate Straight Path Trial Distance (m) Time (s) Acceleration (m/s2) Force (N)
Average Force = Average Acceleration = Calculated mass (Kg) = Draw a diagram of rockets flight path. Upward Arc

Average Force = Average Acceleration = Calculated mass (Kg) = Draw a diagram of rockets flight path. Actual Mass of rocket: (in Kg) Formulas for calculating to fill in the columns of above Speed = distance divided by time Acceleration = change in velocity divided by time Force = mass times acceleration Calculated mass = average force divided by average acceleration Conclusion: 1. 2. 3. 4. Brainstorm variables that affected the flight of your rocket? Brainstorm the constants of your rocket flights. Describe 1 way your rocket displayed inertia? Label your flight diagrams above with force arrows to show where your rocket experienced forces. 5. Describe the difference between your calculated and actual rocket mass. What could have caused those differences? 6. Describe how this experiment displays Newtons First Law. 7. Which of your hypotheses were true and which were false?
