We took part in a space themed science experiment too. The children made their own rockets and decided how many fins their rocket would have. We tested the rockets as a class to see whose went the furthest. We used the results table to spot any patterns that we noticed.
Finally, we looked at the International Space Station (ISS) and created a phrase book that the astronauts could use. Currently, the astronauts on the ISS are from America, Russia and Japan so the children translated some phrases that the astronauts may have to use.
