More Newton Manor Photos and videos

Our guide told us all about the famous apple tree. What type it was, how old it was and how part of the tree was being held up by support posts.Isaac lived in the house over looking the orchard.

What happens if we change the angle of  the launcher ?

Watch the videos of our rockets being launched.




Our rockets were very successful.We learnt how to improve the designs of some to make them fly
 further e.g. by altering the shape of the nose cone. 
We applied our knowledge of forces throughout the day and enjoyed a good trip to Woolsthorpe Manor..
