Doing the rocket was hard work but it came out right as we planned. We started doing the base of the rocket and added to the base. My sister, Zoe, loaded the payload. Cooper, one of my group members, did the fins. And I loaded the parachute. Our build went great and there were no mishaps with our launch or our rocket. My group was a big help with this experiment.

The date of the launch was 2-27-15.  The sky was clear, with an exception of a few clouds.  The wind speed was 1-2 miles per hour, and blowing east.  It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining.  We had almost the perfect weather for the launch.

P.S.  OUR PAYLOAD FHILBERT LIVED

The launch day 2/27/15 was a nice day. There was a clear sky barely any clouds and a slight breeze. Before we launched we had to make sure our fins were straight or else the rocket would fly in a curved path. We went a total of 366 ft. and our egg (Fhilbert) survived. Our rocket landed all the way in the classroom halls.

Packing the payload was nerve-racking because we had to pack a raw quail egg. So first we wrapped the egg in tissue paper. Then we put cotton balls at the ends of the payload section. After we packed and cushioned the egg it was ready for launch.
