Bottle Rockets by Jason Li, IHMC

December 14, 2024

December's Science Saturday featured one of our most popular topics, bottle rockets. Students learned what makes rockets fly. Then they worked in teams to make rockets out of empty plastic soda bottles. Their rockets were launched, propelled by water and compressed air. Excitement was experienced by students, parents, high school volunteers and IHMC staff, as the rockets soared over the Levin Center to heights of 100 feet or more. The session was led by Jared Li, Research Scientist at IHMC.
