Rockets and Travel to Mars
January 12th 10am – 12.30pm
January 19th 10am – 12.30pm
January 26th 10am – 12.30pm
During this 3-week project you will design and build rockets using compressed air and water propulsion and test different fin designs to maximise stability. You will investigate the science behind the activity, covering aerodynamics and drag; make predictions about how the rockets will perform and launch them to see how far they travel. You will also explore the challenges and technology around sending humans to Mars and how to land safely.
£30 per child for the 3 sessions
Speed and Power
February 2nd 10am – 12.30pm
February 9th 10am – 12.30pm
During this 2-week project you will design and build air powered rocket car, modifying it to maximise its performance. You will carry out tests to enable it to speed up and slow down to specific distances as the Bloodhound car will do run fast but safely. Explore the science behind it – pressure, force, acceleration, friction, and the purpose of taking multiple results and averaging.
£20 per child for the 2 sessions
£45 per child for all 5 sessions
Who: Children aged 7-14 years. Children 8 or under must be accompanied by an adult.
