Unfortunately I have not been able to do much this month as we went to Croatia and now are settling in our new holiday home in the South of France. Although now I am able to start working again.
Today I started researching a bit more about water rockets, how they work, what materials are needed, and what kind of tests are needed before the rocket can launch. I also started to look at some instructions on how to build the rocket and started to bookmark some good sites that I can think can help me in the completion of the rocket. There was one website in particular that stood out from the rest. The website is called air commanders and provides a clear plan of the creation of a water rocket. It also clearly states how a water rocket works and takes safety measures in considerations. The websites even looks at the physics behind water rockets and provides the reader with equations and explanations.
I also have to start thinking on how I am going to show that the different sizes affect the rockets performance. Am I going to launch the rocket vertically to see what the different heights are or am I going to launch the rocket horizontally so I can compare the different distances.
Here are some useful websites I found:
