NEW!! Water Rocket Blast Workshop!

Our workshops have been best quoted as “a trip to a science museum but without needing to hire a coach or get parent helpers”. Whilst most of our workshops are purely education based and an hour per class to deliver we also have the special ‘Water Rocket Blast Workshop’ which is a 2hr themed summer science spectacular.

 

Water Rocket Blast Workshop!

 

Overview

- Especially appropriate for Years 2-6

- Up to 30 pupils per workshop

- Each rocket workshop runs for 2hrs.

- One classroom or hall to be used for all workshops, with access to outside playground space but a field would be preferable.

- All pupils each bring with them an empty plastic 2L bottle from home. Only a few spares will be brought on the day.

- At least one classroom teacher to be present at all times.

 

So what will your pupils get up to during our Water Rocket Blast Workshop?

Pupils are launched into demonstrations and hands-on rocket building exploring the science behind ‘propulsion’.

Demonstrations will involve pupil volunteers launching rockets and other super cool rocket demonstrations that will be performed by the our Rocket Scientist, for example looking at how a jet pack works!

Children design and construct their rockets using their own plastic bottles but we supply top-secret rocket blueprints and equipment to get them into the sky!

After a well deserved short break, and to build up anticipation,  they will have the chance to launch their own rockets outside!

The only question remaining is, will their rockets get lost in space or will they get it back? This cannot be guaranteed but they will have lots of fun finding out!
