Designing a probe

rocket launch.JPGThis week you will be asked to design a probe to launch into space and explore a planet in the solar system.  You may even get the chance to build your own rocket in the classroom. If you do remember to take a photo of it and send it into the blog.

Which planet did you design a probe to go to and what did it look like?

Find out more about NASA mission on their Space Missions website.

Today on the computer we were on ticket to space and I made a space probe(s.) I sent one to Mars and one to Pluto. We are from Glengowan Primary School. I found it hard to make my 1st space probe but once I had made 2 or 3 it was easy! I love doing this and love learning about space!

Designing a space probe was fantastic and we really had to think about what we were doing to launch the probe successfully.
