Rockets
We deliver a range of space-themed science activities for all ages from one hour sessions with water rockets to a full day of solid fuel rockets that can reach up to 200mph! With instructors and equipment all provided you're sure to have fun.
We have two types - water powered rockets, and solid fuel powered rockets.
Check out this short film to see rockets in action!
Water Rockets
Attach fins to a plastic bottle, add water and pressurise the ‘rocket’ with a bicycle pump launching it 100 feet down the field amidst a splattering of water. Then we do the science; does more or less water result in a longer flight? At what angle should you launch the rocket? Who can get theirs furthest?
Solid fuel powered rockets
These are grin-inducingly dramatic!
Powered by commercial model rocket motors, the home-built rockets will fly 1000
feet vertically upwards in a cloud of smoke and flame and descend safely on a
parachute. Depending on time, we can concentrate on flying, or building the
rockets first.
