We’ve been learning all about Guy Fawkes, bonfire night and firework safety this week. One of our activities included taking part in a shooting rocket experiment. We were successful learners as we designed and built our own rocket ships using recycled bottles and paper straws. We then used the air inside the bottle to propel our rockets forward by squeezing the bottle. We experimented by using different straw lengths and concluded that the longer the straw, the further our rockets would travel.
