Program Description

Event Details

Experience physics you can feel! Why does a balloon rocket zoom forward when the air rushes out the back? In this action-packed outreach session, students explore Newton's Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, by building and testing their own balloon-powered rocket systems. 

Ages 8-15. Limit 25 youth.

Registration required. Each youth must be registered individually.
