Bottle Rocket at the Old Mill.

Everybody's favourite Physics lesson in school! Bottle rockets are fun, and teach a lot about Newton's laws and conservation of momentum. They are deceptively simple; in fact, the multi-stage constructs can reach a record altitude of 830 metres! These children -supervised by a proud teacher- are real pros, they are launching a two-stage rocket with water that has been coloured for better contrast against the clouds. Pumping air into the rocket is a risky activity, so better take an umbrella! The camera and laptop will help in estimating the altitude (maybe the rocket carries a GPS too). The launch site is an old mill, a derelict from the Industrial Revolution. The model shows thus the past, present, and future of STEM -these children will surely be physicist and engineers one day! The model has 951 pieces in total, comprising the minfigures (and the sheep).
