The Challenge

To explore the air to water combination which will propel the rocket car over the furthest distance. The only variable you can change is the volume of air and water.

Time needed is 6, two hour sessions (approx)

  • Session 1 introduction and design
  • Session 2 build and initial test
  • Session 3 exploratory testing
  • Session 4 accurate fair testing
  • Session 5 spreadsheet construction and data input
  • Session 6 presentation of findings back to the class

Alternatively it could feasibly be completed in a themed rocket or forces project week.
