Rocket Launch!

On Friday morning, every child in Year 5 had the opportunity to launch the rocket they had made. After our successful launch mission, the children produced a graph to show the distance travelled by each rocket. The children then worked out the mode, median, range and mean of the data.

After lunch, we wrote a short explanation text on how our rocket worked. The children demonstrated some excellent understanding of Sir Isaac Newtons Laws of Motion. Very impressive!! The children then worked hard to write their very own instruction texts. I was pleased with how much they had remembered from our instruction unit earlier in the year.

Here are some photos of our rocket launch. I was really impressed with the rockets the children made and it was obvious that they had put a lot of effort into their homework. Well done Year 5!

Launch time!

How did you make your rocket? How far did it travel? How could you have improved your rocket?
