Rocket Launch
Fancy seeing flying objects?
Sir Issac Newton, sat uder a tree when a apple fell on his head.
That is when he had a light bulb moment. He discovered Gravity.
He wrote 3 Laws of Motion to define gravity and flying objects:
1 Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.
2 Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration
3 For Every Action, there is an equal and opposite re-action
What you need:
Empty plastic bottle
Water
Bicycle pump
Bung or a extra tight cork with a ole for the bicycle pike to go in.
Maybe extra resources has a cup and wings!!
Method:
Add a cup to the bottom of the bottle, to make it look like a rocket.
Attach some wings to the bottle. Maybe decorate the bottle.
Fill the bottle with water - Half way.
Place the rubber bung /cork on the end with the bicycle pike inserted in.
To make sure no-one gets wet, place the new rocket on the ground. with e pump start pumping up air into the rocket.
Make sure you are not too close to the rocket, otherwise you may get wet!!
