Discovery Place Science. Stay at Home Science: Paper Rockets Three ways

• When: Friday, May 15, 2020 - All Day Event

3, 2, 1… blast off! Ever wonder what makes a rocket fly?
There are four forces to consider when having a successful flight and these apply not only to rockets, but to anything that flies.

First are weight and thrust. Weight is the force put on the rocket by gravity from the earth. The heavier the rocket is, the higher weight force will be. Thrust is what moves the rocket forward and allows it to overcome that weight force. It’s the reason we need to use some sort of fuel for our rocket.
