Science: Water Rocket

I pretty much fail at teaching science.
I try. 
I really do. 
But we just can’t be great at everything.

My saving gracing, besides Jesus, is childhood ingenuity.
With the help of a teacher friend, my 8th grader not only made a water rocket, 
but launched it successfully.
While I may not be the best “science teacher”, but kids are the best independent learners!
Here are some easy instructions for building your own Water Rocket.
Be safe, and have a “BLAST”!
