Yesterday, a team of students from HCH took part in the NPL Water Rocket Challenge. The afternoon was windy and the teams participating were reluctant to be the first to launch their rocket. The HCH team decided to take the risk of being the first, and although the initial launch was not perfect, the team showed great insight and ability to adapt to changing weather conditions for their second and third launches. For this reason, the Hampton Court House team finished in first place. Archived under Science.Subscribe and receive new content via email.
