Have you ever launched a water rocket 200 meters into the air?! Our extraordinary Grade 6 students have! They built rockets for design class and watched them blast off into the sky this morning.
#YorkLearns
It's rocket day no 1 @theyorkschool Students have designed nosecones and fins, 3d printed them and assembled them on soda bottles. Water and air pressure propelled their creations to great heights. #yorklearns #makeredto #ultimaker
