=Rocket Design and Distance Challenge=

Overview
Studying rockets is an excellent way to learn about fluids and pressure. A rocket is an exploration into innovation and creation. Rockets incorporate the use of advanced design and engineering principles such as drag, lift and thrust. Special materials are used in rockets to make them strong and withstand intense pressure.

The Challenge
You will design and build a water/air powered rocket able to travel a horizontal distance of at least 8m.

Specification
You may use any materials not specifically designed for rocketry. If you are in question, ask to see if it is allowed. The pressure container MUST be at minimum ONE soda bottle with a traditional screwcap nozzle on it (so we can mount it on the launching device). You may, at maximum, have two full sized soda bottles.

Note: Construction can only take place in the classroom.

Materials
- hot glue - all other materials must be supplied from home

New Terminology
1) Research the following words and give definitions for each. 2) In your design report include the results of research of 2 water bottle rocket types and give the advantages and disadvantages of each.
 * thrust
 * drag
 * lift
 * coefficient of friction
 * parabolic trajectories

 * **CATEGORY ** || **4 ** || **3 ** || **2 ** || **1 ** ||
 * **AutoCAD File ** || Relevant views of the design is clear || All views are present, though there may be some slight confusion in the designs || Generally the drawings can lead towards a final product, but there are flaws in which construction details may be obscured || There are large errors in the object views - such that construction will be difficult based on the schematics. ||
 * **Sketchup File** || Relevant views of the there are clear || Modeling is present, though there may be some line/fill errors || Generally the modeling is clear, but there are flaws in which details may be obscured || There are large errors in the modeling - such that observing the final shape is difficult based on the schematic. ||
 * **Rocket construction ** || Construction of the product is superior. All seams and cuts are careful and deliberate. Product is stylistically superior. || Construction is sound. Seams and joints may not all be perfect. Product is generally pleasant to look at. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 12px;">Generally the construction is solid. Seams and joints as well as style all leave something to be desired. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 12px;">The construction is weak. Seams and or cuts are mismatched which results in a stylistically inferior product. ||
 * **Rocket**
 * practical design** || Construction is elegant, yet simple and uncomplicated. Labour costs would be low as a result which increases profit. || Design is well planned, but perhaps more complicated than it should be. || Because the design is more complicated than it should be, labour costs are likely higher than they should be. Design could, and should, be easier || Design is not well thought through, no matter how sturdy. ||
