~Ramen Rockets~

Hellooooooo Fellow Bloggers!

For Inquiry this term we have been learning about space! We got into groups of four and got started on our project, the members in my group are, Tamzin, Jayde, and Nikita, Tamzin being the Leader, first, we had to make a logo for our group this was ours.

 

Our group's name is Ramen ( suggested by yours truly ), next, we came up with places in our group 

Tamzin

• Designer

• Materials engineer

Leticia

• Mission control

• Computer engineer

Nikita

• Electrical engineer

• Mechanical engineer

Jayde

• Biologist

• Astronomer

And this is what those places meant!

Designer

(A Rocket Designer determines where to go, and the special requirement that a certain rocket ship is requiring. They make the color decisions, layout decisions and they hold the details of the engines, equipment, and the materials needed to pass on to the materials engineer, electrical engineer, computer engineer, etc..)

Materials engineer

(A Materials Engineer gets a hold of the materials and equipment required for the rocket and helps create all the items. They tend to have a copy of the blueprints and know where to find what. They are a big part of the design process as well.)

Mission control

(A mission control center MCC, sometimes called a flight control center or operations center, is a facility that manages space flights, usually from the point of launch until landing or the end of the mission.)

Computer engineer

(Computer hardware engineers research, develop, and test computer systems and components such as circuit boards.)

Electrical engineer

(Determine the risks due to solar storms, International Space Station and crews, and make recommendations that would ensure the safety of the shuttle, and crews.)

Mechanical engineer

(Design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices including tools, engines, and machines. )

Biologist

(A biologist is a scientist who studies living organisms. Studying life can mean many different things and be very complex. Biology research can focus on how an organism came to exist, how it is built, how it grows, how it functions, what it does, or where it lives.)

Astronomer

(studies celestial objects and phenomena. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets.)

And lastly, we did a Parachute test! We made two Parachutes one of them had 1 square shape with 6 strings attached and tide in the model to make stronger and the second Parachute had 2 rectangles 8 strings and 2 layers for extra support!

The slowest Parachute was the winner, our slowest time was 2.85 seconds, we didn't win though, but we still had fun!

Btw this week is book week and the character I am doing to dress up as is a student from My Hero Academia which is a manga and Manga is Literature, so its book, Anyway, has a FANTASTIC week, bye!
