Science Week

18th Nov 2022

We really enjoyed exploring how real rockets fly through the atmosphere by designing and making our own paper rockets. We learned a lot about energy, force & gravity. Real rockets get their energy from burning fuel, but for our experiments, we explored how air can make things move. Following our creative designs, we had a competition to see how far our rockets would travel, measuring each distance. We finished off our lesson by having some fun and  enjoying the stomp rocket!
