Our resident scientist (Lenny’s Grandad, John) came to visit our studio and showed us his homemade telescope. We found out how a telescope worked and then scanned the sky for objects. We also learned about the night sky and what we could see at the moment – Jupiter, Venus and of course the moon – it is a half moon at the moment!
Then, last Friday, John returned for rocket launching – what a great event! We mixed baking soda and vinegar together to make the reaction that launched the plastic bottle into the sky! It was amazing and some flew very high! You could watch this video and try it for yourself.
We had a great time discovering lots more about space.
