My Rocket Car

At the workshop to be held during Science and Technology Week, we’ll be learning about Isaac Newton and the Law of Action and Reaction. After first chatting about examples of the Law of Action and Reaction taken from real life, we’ll learn the working principle of rockets, design a rocket that works using this principle, and observe how a rocket’s speed can change depending upon how much weight it carries.
