Week 10 Highlights
Rocketing STEM
As part of their Earth and Space unit this term the year 5 students have been designing and building their own paper stomp rockets. The groups of students came up with a hypothesis to test and then designed three rockets that were all identical except for one feature (eg. Fin shape) so that they could test their hypothesis. They measured the distance each of the three rockets flew, when launched, to see if their hypothesis was correct. There were some fantastic designs with huge variation in how far and straight the rockets flew. Rocket-on, year 5!
