Room 8's Science Experiments

Room 8 have been looking at forces for Inquiry in Term 2 and we found and experiment to do with a force which was flight, it was called a Balloon Rocket.

The three questions we had to find out about were:

- What makes the rocket go slower?
- What makes the rocket go faster?
- How could you measure the speed?

We found out that by cutting the straw it made it go slower…
So therefore, having a longer straw would make it go faster.
We used a timer, but we figured that you could also use a phone,
computer or anything with a timer on it.

Everybody in Room 8 thoroughly enjoyed doing this experiment, and it was a fun way to learn about flight.

Here are some photo's of Room 8 doing the experiment…
