Description
In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and this is one reaction that is awesome to watch. This is also an excellent activity to practice measuring, recording, and comparing data. It is not mentioned specifically in the activity, but you can also have a great discussion about potential and kinetic energy.
