I have chosen the Activity Set about Rockets.
I would begin to engage children’s interest by showing a picture of a rocket. I would also show the video of the Vega rocket launch that was included in this module and discuss this with the class. I would show children videos of how to make some of the different rockets suggested in this module, e.g. the balloon rocket, penny rocket, rocket mouse. After exploring these different types of rocket the children could carry out their own investigation. I would have different materials on each table to create the different rockets. I would allow the children time to explore the variety of materials and work in small groups to plan a design to make a rocket. Then children can make their chosen rocket design. After this they could check to see if their rockets work, investigate how changing forces can affect their rocket and show their creations to the rest of the class.
