ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!

We had so much fun during our investigation session in Science this week. We were learning about rockets with the use of balloons. We learnt how the amount of air in a balloon can affect the distance a balloon can travel. 

We had information to investigate throughout the lesson.

• Does the shape of the balloon have an effect on how far it travels?
• What gas is used to make the balloons stay in the air?
• Does the amount of air in a balloon affect the distance travelled?

We had a great time working collaboratively in our groups during the investigation and later we collected our data and transferred it into a table.
