Year 5 Science Workshop at Chessington School
Year 5 had an excellent time at Chessington School on Friday. In Science, we are currently studying Space, and linked to this, we participated in a workshop on balloon rockets. First, the children made their own rockets using string, tape, a straw, and a balloon. We were given the challenge of calculating the speed of our rockets over the 3.5-metre string. After this, we had a go at creating rockets using film canisters. Finally, we watched as Mr West created a rocket using a 2-litre bottle, some ethanol, and a flame.
