Our rocket making workshop is ideal for children aged 6-12 years and gives them an introduction into age appropriate rocket science.
They will start out the session by learning how to make straw rockets that they can launch by blowing on them. They will then advance to making rockets out of 1.25L bottles. Once the bottle rockets have been created, everyone will move outside where they will get to test how their rocket flies, by launching it from our AquaPod rocket launchers!
Please bring along an empty 1.25L bottle for this activity.
