The first thing I would do with my class would be to show them a video (possibly of space x’s falcon heavy taking off and landing again) or read them the story ‘The way back home’ by Oliver Jeffers which I love. We would then hold a discussion about the rockets and how they work. I would model for the children a couple of different ways of making a rocket such as rocket mouse, balloon rocket, foam rocket or alien chemistry rocket. The children could then get together in groups and decide which type of rocket they would like to make. When they have made them the children can predict and then test how far they can make their rockets go and what effect do different materials make? Different pressure? Different velocities? We can then look at how we can apply our learning to other areas such as P.E when looking at the velocity of a football or apex of a ball thrown in the air.
