Activity-Rockets
I will first use a stimulus of a sound of someone counting down and a rocket blasting off and ask the children if they know what it could be and why they think this. I will then show them some rockets and assess prior knowledge. Have you ever seen a rocket? Why do we use rockets? I will read ‘Aliens in Underpants Save the World’ as the Infant kids really enjoy this book. We will talk about the book. We will then look at rockets and how we may be able to make a few with different materials. The children will then draw their rockets and in teams choose materials to make it. We will then make predictions on ‘Which rocket will fly the highest?’ Why do you think this? We will conduct the investigation and log our findings. We will finish off by looking at other things that can fly through the air.
