What material for making the wings will work best? Hypothesis: If the wings for the rocket are made of plastic then the rocket will fly better because they will slide through the air better and easier since they are more aerodynamic.
Wing Material
cardboard paper plastic
Rocket Flight Depends on Wing Material Rocket Flight distance (meter) Trial 1 95 15 70
Trial 2 95 15 80
Source: A u d r e y P r i n s , A m b e r Unema , Alysha Lemmen May, 2009 Controlled Variables: distance between wings, number of wings, pop bottles, angle of shot, amount of water in the bottles, size of the wings. Materials needed: two liter pop bottle, 20 ounce pop bottle, cardboard, plastic, paper, scissors, duct tape. Procedure: For our control we used a 2 liter bottle for the body and put 400 mL in it. then we used a 20 oz. bottle for the nose and filled it to 100 mL. We placed three cardboard wings in the center of the body. Those wings are 10 x 5 cm and evenly spaced. they are also covered in a layer of duct tape. For the material of the wings we will also try plastic from a milk carton and paper and we will cover each wing in a layer of duct tape. Everything else from our control rocket will be the same.

average flight distance (meter)
Trial 3
100
95 15 83.33
Conclusion: Our data does not support our hypothesis because we thought the plastic wings would be best because they could move through the air better but our data shows the cardboard wings as being the best material because it flew 95 meters while the plastic went 83.33 meters and the paper was the worst at 15 meters. If we did this experiment again we would make sure that we covered the wings enough so that they donʼt get wet. But we would make sure we have the same amount of duct tape for each material so that it does not affect he flight. Something that could have affected the flight of the rocket could be the weather conditions because the wind was not the same everytime that we launched which could make our results vary.
