Water Rocket

Today was the last Physics lesson ever with one of my teachers so we had a treat! We got to set off a water rocket which was really great! We had a bottle half filled with water and a foot pump which we (I say we but of course I didn't do any of the hard work!) until the pressure built up high enough for the bottle to go shooting up!

At first the lid was screwed on too tightly and the rocket shot off at an angle... Then it was tied on too tightly and wouldn't shoot off at all... And then we had the most perfect brilliant one just as we were about to give up! it went straight up in the air and I felt about 6 years old (in a good way)! So I'm counting this as a success experiment!
