Hi Emer,
This sounds fab, It might be useful to make different sorts of rockets to compare, mechanical- elastic or using a bicycle pump, or chemical – vinegar and baking soda.
Hi Paula,
Im glad you think this would be good in your classroom! See here for further resources!
Hi Sabrina,
This is a fantastic and very detailed plan! I’m glad you found the modules beneficial. The Nirks on youtube is great for science music! Sci show kids on youtube might also interest you. This is also useful.
Hi Miriam,
This is fantastic, in particular the dress up and presentation aspect is cool! Google earth pro is absolutely your friend here. For the traveling to planets aspect looking beyond our solar system might be interesting too! see here for a virtual tool to discuss this!
Hi Valerie
This is really well laid out! what would be a nice addition to the planning aspect is getting them to think of their planning drawings as if they were diagrams – have print outs of labels that they can stick to their drawings.
Hi Siobhan,
This is fab! It might be cool to compare different kinds of rockets such as ones launched using elastic bands of chemical reaction rockets such as vinegar and baking soda ones!
Hi Emma this sounds fab! it sounds like it would be useful to use google earth pro here as not only will it show Earth in space it also has a mars and moon option! potentially open space aswell!
Hi Mairead This sounds fab! It could be interesting to try and get them to imagine their drawings as diagrams through getting them to label things and perhaps draw out the experiment in parts kind of like a comic strip!
Hi Hanna this sounds fab! see here for some resources.
Hi Anna-Rose
This is fab! This might be cool if forces is something youd like to focus on.
Hi Laura,
This is brilliant! I am glad you found the course useful! I definitely recommend stellarium and open space for looking at the planets, and in terms of habitats this might be of interest to you!
Hi Dolores, This is fab I particularly like the comparison of different rockets. It might be interesting to discuss with children why rockets are launched. There are so many reasons! –> satellites, rovers, moon orbiting, travelling to the ISS etc.
Hi Eleanor, This is wonderful I especially like the fair test aspect. There are some resources here that might be of use.
This is fab Louise I particularly like the mindmap! This might be a helpful video to use.
Hi Ciara,
I love this! Might be cool to test different rockets with them – the chemical ones you have here vrs ones launched with elastic or ones launched with bicycle pumps for example. Launch and fuel considerations are a big deal with real rockets – particularly between using solid or liquid fuel.
