Water Rocket!

Ever tried making your own rocket fueled by water? Well, that's what we did this time around. We made water rockets! All you need is a plastic bottle, a cork with a hole through it in the middle and a bicycle pump. Technically any pump will do the trick if it's able to pump air.
Follow the steps below and you should be able to build your very own water rocket.

1. Fill about half of the plastic bottle with water.
2. Cover the top part of the bottle which is open with a cork.
3. Fix the air valve of the bicycle pump into the hole in the cork.
4. Invert the bottle and have someone beside you to hold the bottle.
5. Make sure there is no water leaking out of the bottle and the flat part of the bottle has to be facing upwards.
6. Slowly pump air into the bottle. When pressure is too great for the bottle to handle, the bottle thrusts itself forward causing it to lift high in the air like a rocket.

Thus, you've made your very own water rocket!

Computer simulation of how a water rocket works.

Water rockets are cool. Below are pictures of water rockets made by the members.

Carefully holding the inverted plastic bottle.

"It's gonna lift anytime........

........and launches into the air spectacularly!"

Without delay, they make another water rocket.

Same outcome though. Up up high in the air!

They didn't stop. They continued making water rockets for an hour straight.

End of the day, everyone had a jolly wet time.
