Look at the amazing model of the solar system that I made! ...
Here are the videos of our class demonstrating all about space and rockets to: Ms. B.Fitzgerald’s class (Jun Inf), Ms. Moran’s class, Ms. Connolly’s class (1st), Ms. McCaul’s/M ...
We had a marvelous day today – showing, explaining, demonstrating, launching rockets and of course having fun! We know lots and lots about space and rockets and we were so happy to share what we ...
We were talking about asteroids and how they crash into planets leaving craters. We saw how different sized asteroids can make different sized craters (we measured the size of the craters in relation ...
We learned a lot about gravity today. We learned that everything is pulled to earth by gravity. A ball of paper will fall faster than a page of paper regardless of weight because of air resistance. A ...
We imagined where we would like to go in a rocket. We wrote about it and displayed our writings on a very big rocket. ...
We made a data chart based on our favourite planets. We had a great discussion on the good and bad points of each planet. We were able to see which planet was most/least popular and by how much. ...
We have designed spacesuits for astronauts. We even put our countries flags on them. ...
We made clay rockets today. They will look lovely when they are finished. Can you see our 3D shapes – cylinders, cones, spheres? Our rockets look even better now that they are painted! ...
We had fun marbling with ink. We know that oil and water don’t mix, and by dipping paper into marbling (oily) ink we got really lovely patterns. We will turn these pages into new planets later t ...
We used 2D shapes to make some really impressive rockets. Can you spot rectangles, circles, ovals, stars, triangles and squares? ...
Watch videos made on the International Space Station. Recycling water on the international space station More videos from Chris Hadfield on the International Space Station ...
We have another rocket that uses the chemical reaction between vinegar and bread soda to launch the rocket. This rocket really flew very high in the air. ...
We made some rockets that use drinking straws for launching. Our rockets look really fantastic. We really enjoyed launching them. ...
Here are some amazing rockets we made ourselves: ...
We made rockets from toilet roll inserts. Each one looks different and special. We launched them with skewers and elastic bands. We transferred energy from our bodies to the elastic and then from the ...
Here is a rocket that can be launched using air pressure! ...
We had fun launching our stomp rocket. This rocket also uses air under pressure to launch the rocket. ...
Remember the air rockets we made from 2D and 3D shapes last week? We launched them today in honour of Space Week. We used a bicycle pump to put air in the tube. When we opened the valve the rockets fl ...
Water rockets are so exciting! We filled our bottle rockets 1/3 full of water (that was the easy bit). Next we pumped air into the bottles using the bicycle pumps. When the air pressure built up insi ...
We know that bread soda and vinegar can be mixed together producing a gas (Carbon Dioxide). We wondered if this gas could power a small rocket. It did, and caused the rocket to blast off. Very excitin ...
Mr. Faherty’s class and Ms. McLoughlin’s classes together launched fizzy rockets. We had to fill the rocket up 1/3 full of water. We added a fizzy tablet, popped on the lid, counted down a ...
Foam rockets with Ms. McLoughlin’s and Mr. Faherty’s classes. We used radiator lagging foam, duct tape, elastic bands and some nice coloured card to make our foam rockets. Cutting a rectan ...
We launched rocket balloons with Ms. Lally/Ms. McCaul’s class. First of all we had to try and figure out a way for our balloons to fly in a straight line. We tried tying the balloon onto the thr ...
We made some really amazing mice today. We used circles to make cones, then added ears and tails. We used empty bottles as launchers. Air power! ...
