SCIENCE OPT-IN: BALLOON ROCKETS

Some of the children opted in to a workshop to make balloon rockets.  The kids were presented with the materials needed and they had to try and figure out how to make the rocket.  The first challenged they faced was which way to have the opening of the balloon, as you can see here... 😂

We eventually got the balloon working!

Then we worked in small teams to make our own balloon rockets.  It took a lot of concentration and teamwork.

 

Once we were all organised we tested our rockets!

 We had a few races too...

Sophia explains what we got up to today...

And if you are wondering about the science behind Balloon Rockets, this video explains it really well.
