Explore what forces are needed to launch rockets then put the theory to the test by making and launching your own rockets.
During this workshop learners will:
- Discuss what is need to launch a rocket.
- Equations that are used to calculate the forces on a rocket (KS3)
- Create a paper rocket and launch it across the room
- Calculate the distance the paper rocket will travel using the relevant equations (KS3)
Learning objectives
To understand how forces are used to get a rocket into space.
Understand that a fire needs three ingredients to ignite.
Put theory into practice as part of a group
To use motion and force formulas to calculate thrust.
