Number Of Wings On Small Bottle Question, Hypothesis, Procedure

Number of Wings on Small Bottle Question, Hypothesis, Procedure (Clear pictures required for full credit for the procedure portion), Data Table, Graph, Conclusions Question - How does the number of wings on the top bottle of the rocket affect how far the rocket will travel? Hypothesis - If we add more wings to the top rocket bottle then it will fly farther because it will go straighter because the wings will stabilize it more. Controlled Variables - Wing size - Angle of Launch - Amount of water in bottles - Size of Bottles - Wing Placement Materials - Two 2 liter pop bottles - Two 16 oz pop bottles - Card Board - Knife - Water - Wings - Air Compressor. - Duck Tape Procedure - Get 2 liter and 16 oz. bottle - Tape bottles together with the bottoms touching - Fill small bottle with 150 ml on top and 750 ml in the big bottle on bottom - Cut x amount of 6 by 12 wings - Tape on 1 wing more for each new set of data your taking (after your three trials) - Put on the launcher with the two liter on the bottom. - Pull metal slaps over the cap lip to clamp it - Fill with air - Pull string - Go out to the rocket and measure how far it went in meters
