How do you think your bottle rocket will fly?
by water being placed into the bottle and then, when you launch your rocket, the rocket will spin (if it has at least 2 fins) and the water will spurt out and make the rocket go higher in the air. (Tip:the more it spins,the higher it will fly)
What does body length on a straw rocket affect?

Why aren't the fins in the front of a rocket?
The further forward rocket fins are, the more they tend to steer it. You could mount fins at the front, but they would have to be incredibly straight and parallel for your rocket to fly straight.One of the worlds most famous anti aircraft missiles, the Sidewinder, has 4 small steering fins near it's nose. While it was being developed they found if these fins moved too quickly the main tube would actually twist and destroy itself !
How is a rocket different from a bird?
birds are alive and rockets dont need air to fly birds have wings and rockets have tail fins
How do rocket parts affect flight?
AnswerThe fins on a rocket are just there to create stability. As long as there are enough to provide a restoring force against a disturbance, it shouldn't matter. But ...Enough means at least three, symetrically placed, with enough area so that when the rocket tips off of its path a little bit the fins provide aerodynamic force to put it straight again. If you only had two, a disturbance in the plane of the fins would not get corrected and the rocket would veer off course. With three, any tipping off of the flight path hits at least one of the fins in a way to correct the misalignment. Four works, too. Any more than that and you're just adding drag, which will shorten the flight.Note well that the key parameter is the area of the fin times the distance it's lift center is behind the mass center of the rocket. That's why something with the fins behind the engine nozzle works so well, because the lift center is behind the entire rocket. Before I knew that rule I built a seriously overpowered rocket with gigantic fins that came all the way up to the nose. Instead of flying with great stability as I expected, it jumped off the launch rod and headed for launch control, then writhed on the ground like a beached whale until the parachute charge went off.
Does the amount of air in a balloon rocket affect how far it flies?
yes,because if you blow into it then let it go fly offset, it will fly really far
