How to make a water rocket

In this opportunity we will teach you how to make a water rocket. A fun and ideal experiment to do with children in school, as it is a very nice experiment to see. Pay attention to the materials you will need and the steps to follow.

To make a water cart you will need:

· Water bottle.

· Bicycle pump.

· Water.

· A cork.

· Glue.

· Bicycle wheel valve.

· Bricks or other heavy element.

How to make the water rocket:

To start the experiment, you must take the cork and make a small hole. Then, you will place the valve inside the hole of the cork and, if necessary, you will seal it.

Next, fill the bottle with water in half and introduce the cork into the bottle's peak. Then, place the bottle down and connect the inflator to the valve. Hold the rocket with bricks or some heavy element to keep it standing.

Now it's time to introduce air to the bottle until the cork is uncovered and the water comes down. Once this happens, the rocket is pressed by the force of the water and pushed upward, due to the principle of action and reaction. Go ahead and make a water rocket and practice it to get better and better.
