5...4...3...2...1... BLAST OFF! Class 3 Rocket Workshop

 

We made and tested aerodynamic, air-powered rockets.



 

 

Mercedes' rocket went so high, it didn't return to the ground for nearly 9 seconds!

We used a parachute as an air brake. It created lots of drag as we ran and it slowed us down a lot!
