 This is my data...I used all of the same variables for everything except in the second flight I changed the nose cone material. It made a huge difference. When we build our rockets we are going to make our nose cone out of cardboard because it makes it cut through the air better and increases its velocity.

  1. Your data proved useful for determining the way to design your nose cone. Good luck and keep up the hard work!
