Rocket Science Is Easy!


There are many ways to experiment with science models of rockets

They all demonstrate the fundamental principle of rocketry

With Skwiddee's assistance we will try some of them

We'll use balloons, stomps, a rocket-propelled car,

and pop bottles, and before everyone goes home let's launch

a REAL ROCKET up to 200 metres

Subjects embraced in this module are biology, laws of motion, thrust,

trigonometry, air pressure, chemistry, and molecular behaviour

All presented in language appropriate to the age and ability of the children

And, if there's a spare minute, a big WOW finale

(Suggest that the real rocket is launched as parents collect the children)

IMPORTANT Real rocket launching is dependant on safe weather and space conditions

Launch may have to be aborted if considered to be a danger at the time
