“The Zone” is an event that will also include a collection of educational entertainment activities, which will take place on 23-24 September at the Dumbr\u0103vi\u021ba House of Culture, as part of the TGIFF film festival. Among other things, there will be a series of practical workshops for children and teenagers.<\/p>\n
Today I present you the model rocket workshop.<\/p>\n
The model rocket workshop is a predominantly practical educational activity and is dedicated to learning how model rockets (model rockets) are made and how they work.<\/p>\n
Trainer:<\/strong> Harald Singer, amateur rocket modeller<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> for children over 7 years old.<\/p>\n Maximum capacity:<\/strong> 25 children. Places are filled in order of registration.<\/p>\n Workshop registration:<\/strong> on site<\/p>\n Duration:<\/strong> approximately 60 minutes<\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> the main hall of the House of Culture in Dumbr\u0103vi\u021ba<\/p>\n Date<\/strong>: Saturday 23 September, 11.00 a.m.<\/p>\n What are rockets?<\/p>\n [ Video presentation ]<\/p>\n History of rockets<\/p>\n Here would go the story of the Chinese emperor who wanted to reach the moon Parts of a rocket<\/p>\n [ Presentation based on a Saturn V model ]<\/p>\n Physical basis of jet flight<\/p>\n [ Demo of a filled balloon being released to fly ]<\/p>\n to go forward, something has to go in the opposite direction. <\/p>\n Fun information.<\/p>\n What is a rachetomodel?<\/p>\n Let’s start with a simple analogy: “Just like we have toy cars before we have a real car, scientists make model rockets before they make the big ones!”<\/p>\n [ Content: Model rocket launch video ]<\/p>\n Types of model rockets<\/p>\n Stomp: these rockets fly when you step on them! Why do they fly?<\/p>\n Stomp: our foot pushes air into the rocket, making it fly! Safety first<\/p>\n “Even if they are small, we should always be careful.” Practical Activity<\/p>\n Let the children build their own straw rockets and have a ‘flying competition’. Presentation of various physical components<\/p>\n [ children will be able to pick them up and have them explained to them ]<\/p>\n Why models?<\/p>\n “Before we do big things, we learn with the little ones.” Question and answer session<\/p>\n A time for children to ask questions. They usually have some very creative ones!<\/p>\n\n\t\tContents of the workshop<\/h4>\n
\nThe Middle Ages, Konrad Haas
\nModern era – Tsiolkovsky, Hermann Oberth, Laica, Gagarin, Armstrong<\/p>\n
\nexample with boat on lake + rocks
\nexample with astronaut in space station<\/p>\n
\nDrinking straw rockets: just a piece of paper and a straw, and they fly!
\nWater rockets: these use water and air pressure to fly
\nProper model rockets: these are like LEGO sets, but for rockets. We assemble them and they fly.<\/p>\n
\nStraw rockets: our breath gives the thrust!
\nWater rockets: air pressure from a pump and water makes it soar
\nKit rockets: use special fuel – just a little – to fly<\/p>\n
\n“Never point a rocket at someone.”
\n“Always have an adult around”
\n“Goggles”<\/p>\n
\nDemonstrate with a micro-stomp rocket
\nOn a frame (fixed – no flying) attach a model with a combustion engine and fire it up (a bit of smoke, flame and boom!).<\/p>\n
\n“Model rockets teach us about how rockets work and help us prepare for bigger adventures.”<\/p>\n
