It's Just Rocket Science Really!


 


Tony and Lincoln had to find out how far this rocket would fly by changing three variables – water level, air pressure and elevation.

 After several hours of testing, lots of wet clothes, and much super-gluing of broken tail fins, this was the final decision.

Water level - 4

Air Pressure - 40 pumps

Elevation - 30 degrees

Distance travelled – 42 metres.
