Rocket Ships

Kia ora, in Te Ngahere we have been learning about rocket ships and Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion. We were reading about some schools that created model rockets and launched them. We then had to write down what their aim was, the designing process, what variables they changed or considered and the three of Newton’s laws of Motion. The three laws were, (law one) an object stays at rest forever unless an unbalanced force makes it move, the object will continue at the same speed in the same direction until another unbalanced force stops it. (Law two) Acceleration is produced when a force acts on mass, the greater the mass, the greater the force will need to hit the object of mass. (Law three) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We have also begun to write narratives about rocket ships because we are going to create a movie about a rocket ship (as I understand and it only has to have one scene with a rocket in it). I think it will be very fun. Goodbye.
