Rocket Expert 
Responsibilities:
    As the team expert on rockets, you will be researching the different types of hydro-powered vehicles that are already out there.  It will be from your information that your team will choose what type of rocket to build.   By visiting the following links provided, you should get some great insight and ideas on what will work and how you can accomplish your team's goals.

Criteria:
      The links below provide information on rockets in general, but also give great ideas on the other features you will need on your vehicle. Some questions to keep in mind as you are deciding on which type of rocket to build are:  What type of flight will it produce?  What special features does it require?  Are there any problems that you might encounter if you use this design? Are the materials required easy to come by?

        Depending on which variable you choose to test, the following are requirements for your final project: (These are only a few of the variables you can choose to test for your rocket.  There are many others that you may decide on after researching the creation of your vehicles.)
  1) Rocket Body: The blueprints must contain a labeled sketch of at least 2 different designs and the materials you will need to create it.
  2) Fins: The blueprints must contain a labeled sketch of at least 2 different designs and all materials needed.
  3) Nose Cone:  The blueprints must contain a labeled sketch of at least 2 different designs and all materials needed.

    Your Blueprints will be turned in with your required packet of materials for your final grade.  It should be word processed and contain the drawings showing the rockets and the variables you chose to test.  Good Hunting!
