Wonder Project!

 We have been very lucky to have been part of the Wonder Project. This is a programme where we learn all about Newtons Laws of Gravity AND get to build and launch bottle rockets. This was a 9 week programme that we completed with the help from our awesome ambassadors Sihang and Melissa. These wonderful  people are engineers in our local community who gave up their time to help us become scientists. 

Watch out video and see how much fun we had!

  1. Hi there, my name is Madeleine and I am a Year 4 in Te Ana Ako at Waikowhai School. I really like how you talked about the speed and weight of your rockets. It made me think about the balloon rockets our class made that used air power. Have you thought about trying your experiment again and see if the results have changed?

  23. Hey my name is Kali,
    I love how creative your school has been this year. You guys have proven that you guys are resilient no matter what. This reminded me of when we made an elephant tooth paste I think that´s what we made. Next time you should try it with cans if that´s possible. I love how you guys a reusing things such as bottles. I wish you guys the best!

    Nga mihi

    Kali
