Rocket Science

About

We have our very own rocket at The Observatory Science Centre called a Petrel Rocket, designed to carry instruments into sub-orbital flight and perform scientific experiments.

At our Rocket workshop we will be looking at different rockets, how they launch, how far they travel and understand what is the 'payload' amongst other fascinating facts.

So.... if age between 7 and 11 years, come along and find out more.
