This term our class are learning about rockets. We each split into 5 groups of 4 or 5. In my group there was Mana,Tumoana, Lockeya and Me. Each group built and designed there own little rocket. We made our rocket out of a 1.5 litre bottle and used ice cream containers as our fins.There are 6 steps to complete until your group can finally blast off.
We also had to listen to Newtons 3 laws.
1. Newtons first law is an object will not change its motion and speed unless another force acts on it.
2.In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration, so the more weight an object has the more force is needed to make it move.
3.last law but not least, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
Thank you for listening, have you done the Rocket Challenge?
