Who was involved? All of Y2M
When? Wednesday 10th October, 2018
Briefly describe how the activity / event added to the SMSC experience for the children. On Wednesday was a special Space Science Day at school.  We had lots of fun making a Rocket Mouse.  We made and decorated a mouse and then launched our mice from our rocket launcher.  Our rocket launcher was an empty bottle and we talked about how the air from the bottle was being forced out.  We talked simply about air pressure.  The air pressure inside the bottle then pushed hard on the bottom of the rocket and sent it flying into the air.  We worked in teams together, we made decisions together and we helped each other fill in our investigation sheet for the day.
Any other details? We also made some parachutes out of different materials and investigated which was the best material.  We observed carefully and recorded what we had found out.  We were real SCIENTISTS and we can’t wait for the next one.
