The Science of Rockets!
By Riley Marlene Bratzler

Its a device that expels gas one direction to move in opposite direction




One of the first rockets in China, in 1100's






Chinese used rockets for fireworks...





As well as military rockets.


The first culture used rockets was China, in 1100's



 Reaction force that propels a rocket forward is thrust.

It moves forward because gases shooting out.
Advantage to multi-step rocket is total weight reduced.

Something I was surpirised by was that the first rockets, invented in China, were built in the 1100's.
Something that I found interesting was was that China used rockets as fireworks.
I was surprised by the fact that the advantage to multi-step rockets reduce the total weight.
