Blast off! Exploring Pressure with Pumps and Rockets

Drop in any time between 11am and 3pm on 2/25! We'll be taking a closer look the science behind how pressure was used in the Waterworks' steam powered water pumps and how pressure is used in Rocket Ships. We'll be using air pressure to make our own balloon rockets and soda bottle rockets in two totally different ways! Stick around for our 15-minute show "It's not Rocket Science! Or is it?" at 12:00pm and 1:45pm where we break down how the way Rockets use pressure is similar and different to the way our pumps used pressure.
