Water Rockets & Beyond for Young Students: A Chinese Teacher in Jiangxi Province

Water Rockets & Beyond for Young Students: A Chinese Teacher in Jiangxi Province

"A Chinese teacher spent five years developing nine-types of water rockets to let his students' dreams fly high. Who knows? A future rocket designer might be right among them!"

A water rocket is a type of model rocket using water as its reaction mass. The water is forced out by a pressurized gas, typically compressed air. Like all rocket engines, it operates on the principle of Newton's third law of motion. Water rocket hobbyists typically use one or more plastic soft drink bottles as the rocket's pressure vessel. A variety of designs are possible including multi-stage rockets. Water rockets are also custom-built from composite materials to achieve world record altitudes.

Jiangxi is an inland province in east China. Spanning from the banks of the Yangtze river in the north into hillier areas in the south and east, it borders Anhui to the north, Zhejiang to the northeast, Fujian to the east, Guangdong to the south, Hunan to the west, and Hubei to the northwest.
