# Measuring in STEM Week

Foundation Stage have started STEM week with a BANG! We have been launching rockets, using the foot pump, and investigating which rocket has gone the furthest?

                                                                              ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/Foundation%20Stage/IMG_2704.JPG)

After we had launched the rockets we used the bricks to find out how far the rocket had travelled. We recorded the answer and worked out which rocket had travelled the furthest. We had lots of fun investigating and cannot wait to find out what else we are going to learn during the rest of the week!
