Balloon rockets.


Today the students investigated forces while constructing and "launching" balloon rockets.  Local scientist, John Wills, lent his expertise to help the students better understand forces and the laws of motion. Retired teacher, Sian Thomas also helped with the experiment. They greatly enjoyed the activity and were very successful!

Learning Newton's laws. 
The assembly begins. 
Ready to launch. 
Success!
and more success!

Adding a payload. 
Making some adjustments. 
Putting them to the test once again.
