Rocket Blog #2

The first successful thing with our rocket is the height, our rocket launched really high on its first attempt and our parachute also worked. The parachute didn't fully open enough to keep the bottle rocket in the air long enough. The amount of time our rocket stayed in the air was unsuccessful and our next modification would be to make a bigger parachute. Our prediction was that our launch wouldn't be good because it would be our first time, and it was correct. The improvements we chose to make are the size of the parachute and possibly using a garbage bag instead of a plastic bag. We believe the amount of water was good enough to launch it high and the wings were sturdy.
