Blast off!!!!

Topic: The Rocket Launching Competition!!!!
(Yeah...I got to ponteng again!!!)

Aim: Not to win, but to ponteng!!!

Problem Statement: I don't even have a rocket, or neither i know how to build one

Hypothesis: The longer the competition is, the longer i can ponteng......

Variables:
Manipulated
: Time taken to 拖 the competition
Responding: Time taken to ponteng
Fixed: -

Operational Definition:
There are two groups in this competition, each with different operational definition....
Accuracy - Just aim and launch the rocket
Timed - Let the rocket stay in air as long as possible

However, our 5s7 real operational definition is PONTENG....

Materials: 2 empty 1.5l 100plus bottles, rafia strings, fishing lines, scissors, cellotape, rubbish bags, water, cardboards and PERMISSION SLIP.
Apparatus: Pressure pumps

Procedure:
7.00 - Got rubbish bags from Mr TJ
7.15 - Found 2 empty 1.5l rootbeer bottles from PKS, the bottles were washed......
7.30 - Were told that rootbeer bottles are too soft, need 100plus bottles.....
7.35 - Assembly
7.45 - Went to canteen to buy 2 1.5l 1ooplus
7.46 - Began drinking.....灌everyone
8.00 - Finally finish drinking. The bottles were washed
8.10 - The rocket competition started. Form 4 started first...so we have time to build ours...
8.15 - Started building our rocket
9.30 - Finish building one....it looked like one, but dunno will it fly or not.....
Ard 9.45 - F5 started their competition
12.25 - Competition ended
12.26 - Makan di dalam canteen
12.45 - Back to 5s7
1.10 - 放学......

Results:
f4s - too lousy.........
f5s - too pro........5s4's last year champion.....they failed because their rocket 飞到不知所踪(too far).....Then some group's rocket got stuck between the tree branches...Many of them flew out to jln 10/3, although is far but it is considered as out of bounds..some even landed on the roofs......

Discussion:
Since the results were so confusing, we can't discuss anything based on the results.....This year's rocket launching competition very 失败...the participants (including me) 失败, the organiser 失败, the teachers 失败......I dunno how r they gonna announce the results since almost everyone also failed(because some too pro and some too lousy).......

Conclusion:
We successfully ponteng the whole day......Wasting rm6.60 to ponteng 5 hrs of school is worth it....
