<br />
Cone- 110 Degree, 20 cm, tape the top with duck tape<br />
<br />
Cut a string tape it on the cone and tape it on the payload ( the side with the mini-fins)<br />
Find out how the parachute is folded<br />
Hot glue the payload (the side without the minifins) onto the main rocket body<br />
Glue the payload stryofoam onto the body, inside the payload<br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Challenge brief: Make a water rocket from a soda bottle, which can stay in the air for more than 10 seconds, returning to earth on a parachute!</span><br />
<br />
Quantitative Investigation: Do a video analysis of the motion of either the rocket going up or a parachute test of the rocket coming down. Estimate and explain how acceleration changes with time.<br />
