This worksheet takes a simplified news story about SpaceX launching a car into space with the Falcon Heavy rocket. 

This introduces some tricky vocabulary (such as enormous, launch, blast off and expensive) in context. 

Great for practising both scanning and reading for detail and writing in the simple past tense.

Useful for students who are interested in science and technology.



To get the students really into the topic, I recommend watching the youtube video about this news story before starting this worksheet.
