We were talking about making our 3D rocket and the best materials for the window. We conducted an experiment to see which materials would be the best. First, we predicted and then we used a torch to test to see if any light would go through the materials.
We found glass and clear plastic were the most transparent but we decided that glass could break in our models too.
