Dear Mr. Phillips,

On Feb 4th my class and I launched our rockets with you. I want to thank you for taking your time and money to use on us.

I learned a lot of things. I learned about building rockets and how there are rocket competitions. I also learned about keeping whatever is in the rocket safe and all the protection you need to insure.

I really loved being able to go to Arcadia High School. It was cool when one of the rockets broke in half and the egg survived the fall. At the end when we were walking out I saw how you shot a rocket up and it landed in a construction truck.

Thank you again for coming to Arcadia High and letting my class do the rocket launch again.

Sincerely,

Emily

Dear Mr. Phillips

Thank you for coming to teach us about rockets and trigonometry. I really appreciate the time and money you put into this project.

I learned so much from you and would like to thank you for teaching me so much stuff about rocketry. For example, I learned that the fuel tank after the takeoff the engine smelled like a barbecue because of the gunpowder in it. I wonder how powerful the engine would need to be to launch a normal rocket like in the Apollo missions. Another thing we learned was the importance of the padding inside the rocket. The padding kept the egg from cracking and made sort of a cushion so the egg would be safe.

There we so many things I really enjoyed about launching and building the rockets. I liked building the rockets because it was fun putting the parachutes in the rocket and testing it with the hard-boiled quail egg. During the rocket launch, watching the rocket go way up into the air was cool because our group thought it wouldn't work. On top of that, seeing that our eggs survived was pretty relieving.

Once again I would like to thank you for taking time out of your day to schedule a time to build, and launch rockets twice. You taught us about rockets and trigonometry.

Sincerely,

Reed
