PAPER ROCKETS

PAPER ROCKETS

this was an activity we did after a long break from the vacation and just started a new academic year. As days progressed we had a PPD session which was equally interesting as the rest before, by the one and only Madam Sarasi

The task we were obligated was quite fascinating and for a moment we thought it was a walk in the park ahead of us  was a task to make paper rockets.with only 6 A4 sheets provided to us out of which we had to make as many paper rockets as we could regardless of the size.

The task didn't end on just making paper rockets but yet there was another challenge on testing how far the paper rockets could fly. A line was marked on the ground and challenge was to throw all of them across the line. We were given about 20 minutes to come up with a strategy and make the paper rockets.


Our team members were able to make 36 paper rockets out of the 6 A4 sheets of which we could send 24 rockets across the line.

Our strategy and learning outcomes :

•  Before we utilized the papers given by her, we did a couple of test runs with rockets of varying sizes with another paper.
• We realized that very tiny rockets would be hard to send up and so we agreed on making 6 rockets out of one paper. It was the perfect size and would fly a longer distance.

At the end of it, it was a good and exciting activity that needed paying attention to the little details.
