          • Choose a times table you are not confident with and learn it off by heart.
          • Let's get creative! Paint, draw, collage a rainbow to put in your window. You can decide what to use, how big it is and choose a positive message to write underneath it. It will cheer people up as they walk past and make them smile.

Literacy.

 

 

Read a restricted word explanation

  • Read the captions on Up Goer Five:

https://xkcd.com/1133/

  • The author challenged himself to write an explanation using only the thousand most common words in English. How well does it work as an explanation? Which sentence do you think is cleverest? Which do you think sounds the strangest?

 

2. Explore two more explanations

  • Watch How the Apollo Spacecraft Works: Part 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dpkmUjJ8xU

What three things stand out to you most?

  • Explore this explanatory diagram. You have to zoom in a LOT!

http://www.robotspacebrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Saturn-V-cutaway.jpg

Use it to find out how the Command module worked – in the top right hand corner of the diagram. 

 

3.  Answer questions from an explanation

  • Read Saturn V Stages and answer Questions 1 and 2.

 

Well done. Explain what you have learnt to a grown-up. You can check your answers at the end of this pack.

 

Try the Fun-Time Extra

Make your own diagram and explanation of the Saturn V rocket. You can use any of the information that you have read today.  You can try to include Explanation Features in your writing.

 

SATURN V Stages

 

FIRST STAGE

The gigantic first stage was the height of a 10-story building, and when filled with propellant, it made up half the weight of the rocket. Six moving vans would fit easily inside its cavernous tanks. These tanks fed fuel and oxidizer to five rocket engines, the most powerful ever built. They lifted the vast launcher to a height of 38 miles (61 km) in just 2.5 minutes.

 

  1. The first stage separated after 30 seconds, when explosives blasted off the interstage ring. Although it was the height of a house, and traveling at 6,000 mph, the ring had to slip past the second stage engines without touching them.

 

  1. The motors of the first stage used paraffin fuel. When mixed with pure oxygen, paraffin explodes, producing enough power to lift the 3,048-ton launch vehicle high into the air. The intensity of the heat given off is enough to set fire to a carpet 2 miles away.

 

SECOND STAGE

When fuel ran out in the first stage, explosives detached it, and the five second-stage engines ignited. They lifted the Saturn V launcher and its payload – the Apollo spacecraft – to an altitude of 114 miles (184 km).

 

  1. The fuel and oxidizer in the second-stage tanks weighed as much three blue whales, yet the tanks had no supporting structure inside. They were built like an egg;

 

 

       in proportion to their diameter, the immensely strong walls were as thin as eggshell.

 

  1. The huge pipe that refuelled the second stage pumped 166 gallons a second - fast enough to fill the fuel tank of a car in just a tenth of a second.

 

THIRD STAGE

       The third and smallest stage of the Saturn V launcher was the only one to reach Earth orbit.          

        After circling the Earth once or twice, the astronauts fired its engine for the last time to blast  

        their craft toward the Moon. Its work complete, the discarded third stage became just

        another piece of space junk.
