Propulsion: Rocket Launching & Balloon Cars

About This Class

Ready for lift-off? In this action-packed course, young scientists will explore the exciting world of rocket propulsion through a series of hands-on activities and launch challenges. Students will learn how rockets move by discovering the forces behind thrust, pressure, and Newton’s Third Law of Motion. From balloon-powered cars to chemical reaction rockets, kids will build and test different propulsion systems while learning to think like real engineers — experimenting, predicting, and refining their designs. It’s the perfect mix of science, engineering, and explosive fun!

Learning Objectives

Understand the basic physics of rocket propulsion, including force, thrust, and Newton’s Third Law of Motion
