Term 3 Highlights
STEM
Project Aerospace
Students undertook an exciting journey building rockets, landers and rovers, each designed to explore Mars.
Groups built and tested a Mars Lander to ensure a safe landing on planet Mars. We dropped our builds from the top balcony to test for a soft landing. After exploring how rocket design impacts launch speed and trajectory, groups planned, engineered and constructed a bottle rocket.
Experiencing a live launch test at school.
Finally, groups used their skills and first-hand experience to construct a carbon fibre model rocket and embark on an epic space race competition!
Please watch our rocket launches and see which rocket travelled the furthest.
Students have written a reflection highlighting their favourite part of Project Aerospace.
