In celebration of British Science Week, we took on the role of scientists and engineers and made rockets using paper, a straw, pencils, tape and scissors. The aim of our investigation was to consider how we can build our rockets to ensure they fly as far as possible once we blow into the straws. We loved putting our problem solving skills to the test!
