In this physics based workshop students will explore Sir Isaacs Newton’s Laws of Motion to learn how things move. Using what they have just learnt students will build rocket cars in groups and will test and record their results to see how far they will go. They will then have the opportunity to make any changes to their design in order to make them go faster and further before final testing.

* some of the content between Rocket Car Racers, Transport: Past and Present and Stephenson's Rocket are similar. We don't recommend that groups book more than one of these sessions.
