We were to do u reflection on the past 2 weeks since we have started this intersession.
The 2 weeks of the intersession even though it is our last day... has a been GREAT =D I’m sad now that it is was our last day I will miss every single detail of this intersession, and remember it for a while. I liked all the things we have covered and learned, like space, aerodynamics, planes, altitude latitude, survival, history of war, history of planes and the controls of the planes and what their actions do/ flying panes and we also launched rockets on fiesta island, it was AWSOEOME!! From that we learned, about were rockets and how they fly and how they work and history of the rockets did u know the Chinese were the first to event rockets! . We also have learned about space how it is an atmosphere, and that’s about it what we have covered in intersession. I really had a good time, and overall the changes I would like to happen next year would be going on more field trips, making bottle rockets, learning more taking notes a lot down, learn more about space", and also airplanes because I think in my opinion we didn’t really learn about planes that much even that we learned information about them, but like we were focusing about rocket science and space a little more, even that it is cool but there were some people including me that were interested in planes so we should learn more about planes and rocket science at the same time to be equal. Another change should be playing more games with the class and that’s it for changes. What I liked/ loved about this intersession was flying in planes like REAL" planes and I never been on one, flying rockets and building them were cool and of course launching them, I also liked pretty much learning about space, airplanes and the history of them as well and I also liked learning and how to use hand jesters for uses and the most thing I loved was THIS INTERSESSON!! Because it taught me and stuff I never new before because I new about the Wright brothers before but after since this intersession started I finally knew that Leonardo Da Vinci was the first one to event the system of flight, like the mode of the bird wings he would sculpt and make. Even before that, the ancient Greeks and their myths always wanted to fly". Now the thing that I hated about this intersession was really nothing really, I ENJOYED THIS INTERSESSION VERY MUCH!!! =D I hope I get in this one next year =D I’m hoping to see Mr. Davis and Mr. Shulman Mr. Davis’s jokes were very funny I enjoyed them they also interacted with people like me and kind of made learning easer and that’s all I have to say overall... THIS INTERSESSION RULES!! This will be the most forgivable and memorable day that I will remember =D I’m hoping to see Mr. Shulman and Mr. Davis again NEXT YEAR!!!!!!! =D

intersession day 8!!!
1. What was common with all our launches?
The most common thing that happened during our launches was, that most of the launches had a spiral" when it launched and went up straight, and some rockets went straight up in the air that dipped down and about the same speed.
2. Why did some of the launches/ rockets fail?
Because, some people had dead batteries fins were crocked and the body was damaged, and like some parts were damaged like my launch holder connected to my rocket and broke because people were stepping on it, and that is pretty much it how launches/ rockets failed.
3. How did we use each step of the scientific method in our rocket building and launching process?
we basically used it by learning about payload first for building our rocket then when we launched it we used a engine on our rocket while building it then, with the electrical system there was an engine attached to it after that we connected the clippers of the engine attached to the launcher then clipped on to our engine to our final rocket by one push of a button we have launched it but also depending on our wings of the rocket and angle it would fly in a different position.

intersession 7
1. If it takes 2000 pounds of fuel to get 1 pound of payload into space, how many pounds of fuel does it take to get 400,000 pounds of payload to space?
1. 2000lbs of fuel and 1lb of payload. Xlbs of fuel= 400000lbs of payload.
So... then X is equal to 800000000lbs of fuel!
2. In order for us to go lift off our rockets on Thursday, you need to be familiar with the "Model Rocket Safety Codes." Please tell me all 11 safety codes and what they mean.
1. MATERIALS- I will use only lightweight, non-metal parts for the nose, body, and fins of my rocket.
2. MOTORS- I will use only certified, commercially- made model rocker motors, and will not tamper with these motors or use them for any purposes except those recommended by the manufacturer.
3. IGNITION SYSTEM- I will launch my rockets with an electrical launch system and electrical motor igniters.
4. LAUNCH SAFETY- I will use a countdown before launch, and will ensure that everyone is paying attention and is safe distance of at least 15 feet away when I launch rockets with D motors or smaller, and 30 feet when I launch larger rockets.
5. MISSFIRES- if my rocket does not launch when I press the button of my electrical launch system, I will remove the launcher's safety interlock or disconnect its battery before allowing anyone to approach the rocket.
6. LAUNCHER- I will launch my rocket from a launch rod, tower, or rail to ensure that the rocket flies nearly straight up. I will use a blast deflector to prevent the motor's exhaust from hitting the ground, and I will cap the end of my launch rod when it is not in use.
7. SIZE- If my model rocket weighs more than one pound (453 grams) at liftoff or has more power than a single G motor, I will check and comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations before flying.
8. FLIGHT SAFTEY- I will not launch my rocket at targets or near airplanes, and will not put any flammable or explosive payload in my rocket.
9. LAUNCH SITE- I will launch my rocket outdoors, in an open area and in safe weather conditions, (*LITTLE OR NO WIND) and will ensure that there is no dry grass close to the launch pad (*OR IN FLYING FEILD).
10. RECOVERY SYSTEM- I will use recovery system such as a streamer or parachute in my rocket so that it returns safely and undamaged and can be flown again, and I will use only flame- resistant or fireproof recovery system wadding in my rocket.
11. RECOVERY SAFTEY- I will not attempt to recover my rocket from power lines, tall trees, or other dangerous places.
1. 2000lbs of fuel and 1lb of payload. Xlbs of fuel= 400000lbs of payload.
So... then X is equal to 800000000lbs of fuel!

intersession day 6
1. What is the difference between true north and magnetic north?
true north/heading is when the director of the earth's north pole in relations to... magnetic north/ heading is the depiction of earth's magnetic pole relations to... so basically the difference between them is that one of them is the director of the north pole but the other one of them incompletely diff rent because it has to do with the direction of earths magnetic pole.
2. What is the attitude gyro for?
The attitude gyro is an instrument used in an aircraft, which indicates pitch and roll.
3. Define airfoil
airfoil is a shape designed to cut through the air.
4.1 nautical miles = 1.15 statue miles X nautical miles= 35.5 miles
so... 1NM over XNM = 1.15 over 35.5M cross multiply
35.5 over 1.15 = 1.15x over 1.15 (1.15 and 1.15 cancel)
ANSWER: 30.9
5. 1 nautical mile = 1.15 statue miles X nautical miles = 150 statue miles so...
1NM over XNM = 1.15 over 150 cross multiply
(1.15 and 1.15 cancel)
ANSWER: 130

INTERSSESSION DAY 5
HOMEWORK:
1. 1nautical mile= 1.15 statue miles so ...5000 nautical miles= statue miles
5000 x 1.15= 5750 statue miles
ANSWER= 5750 statue miles
I will give a reflection on the past week of Wanted: rocket scientist. The past week has been going Super good I have enjoyed it so much. Also have learned a lot about history and history of planes. Like World War 1 and World War II, like the red baron how his red color on the plane attracted other pilots that e have took down 80 planes also Howard Hughes and way before that Leonardo Da Vinci with his bird wings creation. I have learned about survival, Latitude and Altitude. I have also learned how to use a map for finding Latitude and Altitude and how to contact a person that has been stranded for days. Another exiting thing I have done was learning all about the controls of the airplane and labeling them as well too. Survival kits/ learning how to use the proper survival tools that we would find by nature. The past week we have learned a lot of stuff we also got to make paper airplanes gliders and how they fly by learning aerodynamics and ya that’s pretty much it that we have done this past week. But another thing I think I should add, would be the dislikes, likes, love, change. Basically I didn’t really dislike anything in this intersession =D it really went good I have enjoyed this intersession very well and probably better than anyone else’s. I loved the paper airplanes and the models/ gliders. I have also loved learning about the history of the planes and uses. What I would change even though I love this intersession, I think we should change that; we shouldn't be in the boardroom for along use of time and hours because most of us get board including me, even though I like learning! But I think we should change that and have more cool projects and learn a lot more things. But overall I love this intersession!!!!! It ROCKS!!!!!! On Monday I will be happy to learn =D!!!!

Intersession Day 4
1. What is Occam's razor, and how can it be used in your everyday life?
Occam’s razor is one that can remove the impossible remaining however unlikely (leads to truth) and, how can you use this to your everyday life is that if your stuck and surviving on a island or woods/ looking for one of your buddies to find him and see if he is ok (survived).
2. Why is Ruben H. Fleet so important because, he was a mailman during the war delivering mail by plane and designed/ creating an airplane for the enjoyment of flying that’s why he is famous.
3.What was the "Red Baron's plane red?
The "Red Baron's" plane was red so it could attract the air fighters, and that he took down 80 planes just like Michael Jackson like he attracts people by costume.
