This term our topic is Flight. The past 4 weeks Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie's group were learning about Flight and Migration. This week Mr Ogilvie's group are studying Rocket Science. We did an experiment using a balloon. About 7 metres of a fishing line was pinned from one end of the room to the other. We put a straw through the string for the rocket to fly. We then took a blown balloon and stuck it on the straw using clear tape. Mr Ogilvie used a clip to hold the end instead of tying it. Then we made our prediction then let the clip go, while the balloon pushed against the air to the other side of the fishing line. We did this experiment 3 times for each balloon (3 balloons). After that we made a graph showing how many metres each balloon went. Mr Ogilvie's group enjoyed doing the Balloon experiment.
