Space Rotation | Rotation 2


This week was our first and second session of our second inquiry session. We have moved onto second rotation for the term. I am now currently in Mr Ogilvie's Inquiry Rotation. In Mr Ogilve's rotation we are learning about the differences of Real rockets and fictional ones and also launch sites around the world. We got into partners to do these activities. I worked with Haylee for these activities. For finding out the launch sites around the world, we created a google map and used a site that was provided to find the address for each launch site. When we found the address of the launch sites we pinned the area and saved it. The maximum amount of areas we needed were around 10. For session 2 we learnt about the difference between real and fake rockets. We made a copy of a DLO that had an area to write our information about our rockets in. We used our researching skills to find out the information about our rockets. We also had to find a rocket to find information about. I did the real rocket so I chose the "Delta IV Heavy" and Haylee chose the "Millennium Falcon". After finding out a load of information about the rockets we moved onto the next activity. For this activity we made a google slide/doc to fit in a glossary. We had about 9 words to find out meanings for. Haylee and I were able to find out some information about each word, we were not allowed to copy and paste any meaning. We put the meanings in our own words. When finished with the glossary we moved onto drawing a rocket and labelling its parts. By doing this we found an image of  a rocket to trace off. We then changed the colours of the rocket. We then researched the parts of a rocket. We then started labelling the rocket parts. After this we were completed, we were told to finish these activities off in our own time. I enjoyed the first 2 session of this weeks inquiry lesson.
