First we would start with the book ‘ Roaring rockets by y tony motto this is a very simple but engaging book for a junior infants class. It goes through the componem of a rocket too. Rrom this we would ask questions about how we would design and launch a rocket with a mini figure ( shookin) attached. Discuss together how we would make it, what we would need and what could actually make the rocket launch ( should be able to ans this based on other experiences during science week . We would create, design and build rockets in pairs using junk art. We would then launch using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. Finally we would measure the distance that the rocket travelled. For sphe we could discuss fears , how would you feel if you were asked to go to the moon etc…
