Thrust Structures

Lilly, Rose and I did the lab Thrust Structures. Our job was "to build the lightest weight thrust structure that will withstand the force of launch to orbit at least three times." We made two thrust structures out of Popsicle sticks and glue. The first structure was shaped like a cube and the second a pyramid. By experimenting we learned that the thrust structure shaped like a pyramid worked best. I think that the pyramid shaped structure worked best because it was light and strong. I thought that this lab was fun, I had a good time.
