Rocket Science!
We were lucky enough to have a visit from genuine rocket scientist Dr Phil Gill, who explained to us about how rockets work, using a variety of practical demonstrations.
Obviously, forces play a huge part in this, so we learned a lot about Newton's Laws of Motion before making our own rockets using the built-up pressure inside bottles!
