At Young Tinker, we believe learning should be exciting and hands-on. That’s why we bring our Water Rocket Launch workshop to schools every day. In just one hour, students get to explore Newton’s Laws of Motion while having a blast building and launching water rockets.
The workshop starts with a fun “Discovering Myself” activity, where students get to reflect and share their thoughts. Then they jump into the “Think Outside the Box” exercise, letting their creativity shine as they design their rockets on paper. After that, it’s time for the main event—building and launching the rockets!
Working in teams, students build their rockets, test them, and launch them into the air. The excitement of seeing their creations fly makes learning physics and teamwork a lot of fun.
Science behind Water Rocket Launch
Water rockets are a simple way to understand Newton’s three laws of motion:
- Newton’s First Law (Inertia): The rocket stays still until the force from the pressurized water pushes it into motion. Once launched, it keeps moving until gravity or air slows it down.
- Newton’s Second Law (Force = Mass x Acceleration): The more pressure added to the rocket, the faster it accelerates and the higher it flies. This shows how force affects movement.
- Newton’s Third Law (Action and Reaction): When the water shoots out of the rocket, it pushes the rocket up in the opposite direction. This explains how forces always come in pairs.
What Students Learn – By the end of the workshop, students will
- Understand how Newton’s laws work through hands-on activities.
- See the relationship between pressure, force, and motion in action.
- Improve teamwork, communication, and creative problem-solving.
- Get a basic understanding of aerodynamics and physics in a fun way.
- Walk away with a newfound interest in STEM.
At Young Tinker, we make sure every session is enjoyable and sparks curiosity, helping students learn while having a great time. The water rocket workshop isn’t just about rockets—it’s about launching young minds into the world of STEM!
