This week we have been learning how to play Turbo Touch. It's quick and fun and we really enjoyed it.

Rocket Simulation

Do some research to help you win the Rocket Competition!

Have a play with this rocket simulator. Change the nose cone, the amount of water you put in it and the air pressure to get the rocket as high as possible!

Remember to write down your results for each test to find the best combination. Get a recording sheet from the teacher.
