This is my data.  I, like Emily, decided to only change one factor at a time.  The factor that i decided to change was the number of fins. When i had less fins, it made the rocket lighter.  This made the rocket go higher and faster then the rocket with 4 fins.  From this data, i have concluded that Emily and i should use not 4, but 3 fins.
