Thames River and Cosmos Hydro: Rocket propelled cars, boats, etc. use the power of air and water to propel things. Build water rocket cars, jet propelled boats, water guns, and even lawn sprinklers.
Understand the laws of physics and their applications in practical engineering. When you inject air into a rocket, the internal air pressure increases. Then when you release the clip, be careful - the mixture of air and water inside will spray out, causing your rocket to fly in the opposite direction!
From the oldest organ to modern rocket ships, many machines use the same technology as water rockets. To test some differences between water and air through experiments and understand why rockets need both to fly quickly.
