We split up into three groups to explore forces through creating rockets. Group 1 were given a quiz and independently did some research on the NASA children's clubhouse website.
Group two created Air Powered Rockets - using paper rockets, toothpicks and straws. We had to investigate how far we could get our rocket to fly and consider what impacted on the flight distance and speed.
Group three explored balloon powered rockets using balloons, rope, tape and straws. Again we were investigating what changes we could make to make the rockets fly faster/smoother/further etc.
We rotated through our groups so that we had a chance to investigate all three areas.
