To make the body of the rockets we got a dowel and folded a paper to wrap around it, and then we taped the paper and cut off the access. The rocket was around 2 inches, after we took the dowel out we took aluminum and made a cap for our rocket. For the fuel we mixed 337g of potassium nitrate and 101g of sugar together. we packed the fuel in the body then added more aluminium and pounded that in to make another cap like thing. Then we folded the end and taped it off. Then we drilled a hole in the foil until we saw the powder, and then you can put the fuse in. after that you get a thin, long dowel and tape it to the rocket.
meand my partner Micha's rocket was one nes that actually worked. It wasn't the best one sadly but it went further than most of the other groups. It was funny cause our rocket looked really sloppy and yet it was one of the ones that worked. I thought that it wasn't going to work and i as pleasantly surprised when it did.
