Ethanol rocket
This mini rocket uses a light-weight plastic water bottle (500 ml) with a nozzle. The bottle has a small amount of ethanol in it, which is vapourised then ignited, and the mini rocket fires off. In this demo we use a piece of guttering as a rocket launching track.
Moon Scale Demo
Space is incredibly big and it can be very difficult to get a perspective on just how extensive it is. This simple hands-on demonstration gives the participants a sense of the scales involved.
