Roicéid - Rockets in Rang a 1

Dhéan Rang a 1 imscrúdú faoi conas roicéad a laiseáil ag usáid balúin, píosa sreang, sop agus pionna. D’aimsigh siad gurbh é an t-aer a thagann as an mbalún a bhrúann an balún ar aghaidh. Seo an tslí a oibríonn an roicéad- brúann na gasanna a thagann amach as deireadh an roicéad ar aghaidh. Bhaineadar an taiteamh as an turgnamh agus táid ag tnúth leis an gcéad turgnamh eile.

First Class were investigating and experimenting how to launch a rocket using a balloon, a string, a drinking straw and a peg. We discovered that the air coming out of the back of the balloon pushes the balloon forward. This is how rockets work- the hot burning gases rushing out of the back of the rockets push them forward. First class enjoyed this experiment and are already looking forward to the next one.
