What did we find out?

Both of our rockets' thermometers worked okay, although we realized that an aquarium thermometer doesn't have much of a temperature range. We decided we'd have to find a thermometer that works under lots of conditions. Emilia's confetti scattered, so she decided she needed a way to release the confetti only after the rocket landed. The wind vane and other devices would have worked better if we could have made sure they landed face up. We decided that having the same device on two sides of the rocket could solve that problem. We also realized that if we were sending measuring equipment to another planet, we'd need some way to send the information back to us on Earth! more...
