How did you feel on the first day of school compared to how you feel today? What things have contributed to any changes in the way you feel?
Well first of all I definitely feel more confident In my abilities to not only to make rockets and motors but to do things that Im not familiar with so next time I'm skeptical about doing something cause I don't know how I can think back to my progress I made during the rocket project. If you could build a third Balsa rocket, what would you do differently and why? I would use the same design but I would just make it a whole lot cleaner since my rocket went really high but it didn't look very neat and in my case the cuts weren't clean and that caused drag so I would make it look nice and improve its performance After watching some other students’ films, what themes or common traits have you noticed? It shows you how they built it and why they made their specific and unique modifications ex)"Our rocket was really short so we made it top heavy. Is there something you saw in someone else’s film, that you wish you would have done in yours? What was it? Add more humor cause it makes people pay attention and lightens the mood. Do you see value in being able to create a film about your work? Why or why not? One reason is that I now know how to use movie editing software a lot better than I did before and it also lets you reflect on the work you did. What are a few things you plan to do differently on your next film and why? I plan to get all the footage captured before I start editing cause then It will be a lot simpler and also I want to get it done sooner cause then it wont be rushed and it will be higher quality. Build/Launch #1 As you saw in our Video our rocket didn't do so well because of a few things. What we plan to do next to make our rocket actually fly is to: Make it a lot lighter, we are going to use less glue because we think that's why it was so heavy. And also use a bigger motor so that way it will for sure launch off. Build/Launch #2We made the edits I mentioned earlier and our rocket was a success! both me and my partner are proud of the work we did.
