Two of the topics in the Achieving Potential Seminars, September 2004.
Junior rocket scientists participate in the Aquaroc programme, learning how rockets work, building a working model of a water and air powered rocket, and launching it using a remotely controlled launch system. Senior rocket scientists learn the priniciples of rocket flight, build a simple solid propellant rocket, convert a torch into an electrical launch controller to launch their rocket, and build a 'clinometer' to track how high the rocket flies. Ages Junior - approx. 8-10 yrs, Senior approx. 11-13 yrs |

In this rather eggciting but slightly eggcentric rocketry course you
learn some basic principles about how rockets work, and then get to build
a payload-carrying rocket, powered by a solid model rocket motor. A ‘payload’
is kind of like the freight that a rocket carries into space, eg a satellite.
However the payload that your rocket will have to boost up into the sky
will be a common household egg!! Your mission, should you decide to accept
it, is to bring the egg back alive (without fouling up……).
No previous rocketry eggsperience required! (egg supplied) Ages 9-14 yrs. |

In this course you learn the basic techniques of soldering as you build
an electrical launch controller suitable for launching model rockets.
All clips, wiring, cabling and other electrical components are supplied (battery IS included!!). Your controller will have a visual indicator to check igniter continuity, and can be used with the most common types of model rocket igniter. Once you have assembled your controller, test its operation in a live supervising static testing! Ages 9-14 yrs. |
