Pupils needing extra support

Could use a drawing program, such as Sketchpad (see Teacher knowledge) but the children should try to write each item in the list as this builds the necessary skills for creating tables and spreadsheets.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could be encouraged to use a spreadsheet (e.g. Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets); could use the internet to research methods to make the rockets move (e.g. using balloons, water pressure or blowing through a straw).
