Rockets @ Wesley Primary

Today room 9 had a wonderful opportunity to go and demonstrate our rocket programme at Wesley primary school. We partnered up with room 3 & 4, who have been studying flight this term. We talked about the different forces acting on the rocket and we also introduced newtons laws to the class. We then gave a demonstration of a rocket in flight and gave room 3 & 4 a chance to have a go at launching the rocket.

 Both classes were really involved and showed a great understanding of how flight is achieved. They were able to talk about thrust, lift, drag and how friction affects our rockets flight. Some great connections were made, and it was a real pleasure linking up with Wesley Primary for a demonstration.
