Rocket Science

Although the show time is a little shorter for younger children, it is ideal for us to allow 45 minutes per show, to be sure that KS1 children feel comfortable and excited to enjoy the rockets and ask their questions.

• experiencing, observing & identifying
• predicting using own ideas
• exploration & questioning
• using equipment & doing experiments
• observing & describing weather
• changing shapes by squashing & stretching

Steve recommends about 60 children per show. However workshops must be run 1 class at a time with an absolute maximum of 30. We need at least 1 adult, who knows the children, to be with them throughout the sessions.

An ideal turnaround for these shows is 50 mins to allow for extra exploration of the interests and questions from the students. We are flexible with your timetable for the day.

• some forces need contact, some act at a distance
• falling objects & Earth's gravity
• air resistance, water resistance & friction

• chemical reactions
• processes involving energy transfer
• forces as the interaction between two objects
• developing a line of enquiry based on real world observations
• opposing forces and equilibrium
• pushes, pulls, deforming objects, friction & resistance
• newton's laws of motion
