Water Powered Rocket Project

Description

Each class team is to create a rocket that will fit the provided launch pad using only water and/or compressed air as the propellant. The maximum pressure will be approximately 100 PSI. The maximum volume of the rocket’s fully pressurized chamber will be 3 liters. The maximum circumference of the pressure chamber will be 30cm. No dangerous materials may be used, such as sheet metal or protruding bolts. Flimsy water bottles are not allowed. Be sure to verify your bottle fits on the launch pad before investing a lot of time on its construction.

All papers must be presented in a three-ring binder. The entire team will receive the same grade. The instructor will observe team interaction and grade individual attitude and participation accordingly.

Project Requirements

Teams – The instructor will make up teams. Teams will not change for the duration of this project.

Research –See Water Rocket Research Grading sheet for requirements.

Drawings - Show potential rockets, their configurations, and fin locations. Draw the pattern to make the fins. Make annotations concerning materials used and 'how to' comments wherever possible. See Water Rocket Drawing Grading sheet for requirements.

List of Parts –Every item that that is used must be accounted for. List the parts and materials used for the prototype construction and any rigs created to assist in prototype construction. See Water Rocket Parts List Grading sheet for requirements.

Prototype Construction and Launches –If the pressurized vessel has any seams, it must be pressure tested full of water. There is no limit to the preliminary prototypes before presenting the final prototype. Any rocket deemed unsafe will be disqualified. See Water Rocket Prototype and Test Grading sheet for requirements.

Team Presentation –See Water Rocket Presentation grading sheet for requirements. Email them to Mr. K in PowerPoint 2003 format. (Do NOT use PowerPoint 2007)

Competition: Only the best (one) prototype from each team will be flown. Two categories for judging are highest apex and longest flight time. Winners of each category will receive 10 extra credit points, second place will receive 5 extra credit points.

WATER ROCKET PARTS LIST GRADING

Keep track of all parts that are used in a table format like the example below. If they are used only for a short loop experiment, note that in the Description column.

A neat, complete parts list that is included in the binder is graded every notebook.

Description	Source	Quantity	Unit Price	Total Cost	Teacher Supplied

Description: Simple description of the item. Every item used must be listed here. Include dimensions and units, such as '4 inch schedule 40 plastic pipe'. Also note in this box if the item is only used for an experiment and not on the final design.

Source: Document where the item came from. Some examples are Orchard Supply Hardware, trash can, or Irving's garage.

Quantity: Document how many are used. This must include units, such as '13 feet' for a length of plastic pipe, or '3 each' for plastic fin materials.

Unit Price: This is the price for one item of the quantity of the description item.

Total Cost: This is the (unit price * the quantity), or the entire project cost of a particular item. Write 'free' if the unit came at no cost.

Teacher Supplied: Write 'yes' if Mr. Kawanami procures the necessary material, or the team member that procured the material.

WATER ROCKET PROTOTYPE & TEST

Keep track of all prototype launches in a table like below. This will record your observations and help to focus on correct issues.

If you have different rockets working on different experiments, you can use multiple tables so the results don't become hard to interpret.

Neat, complete prototype test records that are included in the binder are scored on the weekly notebook.

Launch #	Rocket Description	Date / Time	Apex	Hang Time	What was Learned

ROCKET PRESENTATION GRADING

If you use Powerpoint, the presentation shall be a maximum of ten slides. Bring your presentation on a USB Memory Stick and/or CD. Do not bring it on a floppy disk. If you email it to me, be sure you get a confirmation reply. I do NOT have PowerPoint2007, so please save it as PPT 2003.

All members must actively participate in the presentation in a professional manner.

The presentation is worth 60 points. Among other interesting things,

Engineering Goal Statement
Criteria and constraints
List of launches, dates, measured apex, and hang time. Graph the data.
List some problems encountered and how they were resolved.
Compare original drawings with final prototype. Explain the major differences.
Photographs of the group during inside construction and outside during prototype launches.
Any other graphs, calculations, etc from research or test results
Other highlights or noteworthy events.

A required poster is worth 10 of the total points. It should focus on one aspect of the project and be easily seen from the back of the room.

COMPETITION GRADING

Team	Hang Time	Angleometer	Apogee	(> 100 feet) OR (> 5 seconds) 10 points	(> 150 feet) OR (> 15 seconds) 20 points	Total Points
