Rocket Entries
Example
1-1 (Day-Entry)
1-1
We are drawing our blueprint and naming our rocket. We discuss parts and who will bring what.
3-2
We bring in bottles and start sanding away sticky glue. Then cut bottles to shape that we need.
4-3
Start gluing bottles together to see rocket coming together.
5-4
Rocket gluing working on nose cone and parachute.
6-5
Remaking parachute after failed launch. Trying new design.
7-6
New design worked for test launch no parachute tho.
8-7
Still having trouble with the parachute deploying. Untying and retying the parachute.
9-8
Parachute still not working quite right will have to deal with for exhibition.

The Rube Goldberg Project
Topographic Maps
In this project we mapped a section of twin buttes. We had to measure angles me distance from each of the four rocks. The first couple weeks of the project we hocked up to our mapping area with a comps and gps. We used our compass and recorded the degrees we were walking and we counted how many paces we took to get to each rock. We later used the data we collected to graph our map. The first thing we did was draw a compass so we could put the rocks on the right direction. We made a grid on our paper and created a scale we would use to make our map. We started off buy putting one rock on the map and from there used our compass to fun the angle to the next rock based off of what we measured on our compass then we used our scale and paces to find out how long the line needed to be then we drew our second rock there and repeated the process. After we had put all our points on the graph we drew elevation lines. We then eat asked our grid and drew symbols for trees, bushes, roads, ect.... After we were done we added a legend. And for the last step we colored our map and titled it demonbabymaps!
