Our Space Explorers workshop provides opportunities to tick off various maths objectives; applying skills in measure for both capacity and length! This thrilling outdoor experience will provide lasting memories and plenty of discussion points for your class for weeks to come!
You can choose to focus on the workshop on any significant individual who has explored space travel - most choose Neil Armstrong but you can add any to your enquiry!

Then the children will learn how to build their own rocket launch pads and everyone will have the opportunity to have a turn at launching their group rocket safely before we move on to an investigation!
Next we will learn about the significant events surrounding your chosen individuals space exploration. For example if you were to choose Neil Armstrong we would learn about the critical moment of the moon landing . . . We’ll discover that there was only 15 seconds remaining for Neil Armstrong and his team to land Saturn V before it ran out of fuel! The children will be challenged to launch their own Saturn V rockets, experimenting with how the different amounts of ‘fuel’ added to the rocket changes the distance it travels, providing them with ample opportunity to apply their mathematical skills!
However, the context of this workshop can be changed to any other space explorer of your choosing such as Mae Jemison!
Finally we will explore the visual wonders of the night sky! We will round up the workshop by exploring the sights of space! Children will get creative with some large scale, space themed artwork; exploring the stars and constellations, inspiring your children and giving them the knowledge to try their hand at star gazing.
