Question: How the amount of water in the base affect the distance the rocket will travel. Hypothesis: If we put more water in the base, then the rocket will travel farther because it has more push behind it. Control variables. 1. 30 degree tilt of rocket on launch. 2. 100 ml of water in nose cone. 3. 10 x 5 wing size. 4.. 3 wings on rocket. Materials: 4 pop bottles, duct tape, cardboard wings, water Control Rocket: 30 degree tilt, 3 wings(size 10 x 5), 100 ml water in nose cone, 400 ml water in body. Step by step procedure: First, you get a 2 liter pop bottle along with a 20 oz. bottle. Then, rip the paper off the bottles. Next, duct tape the bottles together so that the bottoms are together. Then, duct tape the chosen size wing so you can not see any cardboard, and securely fasten them to the rocket with duct tape. Next, fill the rocket up with the desired amount of water in the base, and nose cone. When this is completed,

you are ready to launch! Take the cap off the 2 liter bottle, and quickly put it on the launching stick thing. (make sure it is all the way on.) Then, put the clamps together, and put air into the rocket. Next, pull the string back until the rocket launches. Be sure to yell launch for safety reasons. Does your data support hypothesis? Yes, because when we put 800 ml in the body, it traveled an average of 81.5, compared to 400 ml’s average of 72.5. Conclusion: When we put 800 ml of water the in body, it traveled the farthest out of the three we tested. The 800 ml of water traveled an average of 81.5.
