We had great fun this week making straw rockets and fizzy rockets! They were so easy to make and we launched them in our classroom. ...
We made the straw rockets on Friday and yesterday. We launched them today, using air under pressure. Ms. Cunningham’s class have a different way of making straw rockets. It is nice to compare ...
We tried to fly a rocket balloon straight across the classroom to teacher. We found that this is impossible. So we thought a bit, and came up with some good ideas of what to do. One idea was to blue t ...
We have seen how vinegar and bread soda can react together to make carbon dioxide gas (CO2). Today we launched some fizzy rockets using the CO2 gas that is made when you dissolve fizzy tablets in wate ...
Our stomp and snowman rockets fire when air pressure builds up behind the top. These kinds of rockets are easy to buy and they are a lot of fun to play with. ...
We have a space week display outside our room so our mums and dads will know it is Space Week. We are really enjoying Space Week. Happy Space Week everyone! We also wrote some great accounts of our ...
I am very interested in the solar system. I mad a great mobile of the planets in our solar system. ...
Look at the fabulous rocket I made for space week! ...
To celebrate Space Week look at the fabulous space ships I made at home. Teacher was thrilled! ...
We have made foam rockets. Today we practised launching them outside. We were amazed at how far the rockets can fly. Inside we showed Ms. O’Connors class how to make and launch the rockets. We ...
We know that vinegar and bread soda react together to make a gas called Carbon Dioxide. (We saw that when we pretended to make a volcano). Now we can use this carbon dioxide under pressure to launch a ...
We are making toilet roll rockets from toilet roll tubes, skewers and elastic bands. Click here to see how they turned out and how we launched them. ...
In preparation for Space Week next week, we made foam rockets. These are amazing rockets. They use the pull force to give the rocket the energy to fly. They really fly well. Watch out for what ...
In preparation for Space Week next week, we had fun making straw rockets which will launch with the help of a straw. …….to be completed and launched during space week. ...
In preparation for Space Week next week, we had fun making little conical mice which we can launch into space using our incredible (milk bottle) launchers! First we traced around circles, cut these ou ...
We know the names of 2D and 3D shapes. We discovered that a rectangle can be made into a cylinder, and a circle can be made into a cone (so can a semi-circle). A rectangle can be cut into two equal re ...
Why not get involved? Space Week: October 4th – 10th, 2017 Eu Code Week: October 7th – 22nd, 2017 Maths Week: October 14th – 22nd, 2017 Science Week: November 12 – 26th ...
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? ...
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! ...
