This site taught our group the basics to bottle rockets. It explained to us about how the laws of physics pertain to our bottle rocket lab. The site explains how rockets are forced upwards by burning fuel that produces large amounts of gases expanded by heat. In the bottle rocket lab, the rocket is fueled by a liquid, and air pressure, and the flight of the rocket is influenced by the ratio of liquid to air pressure. The pressure builds up, thus forcing the stopper on the bottle to pop off, causing the rocket to fly upward. This site basically gave our group an insight into what our rocket will do.
