Water-powered rockets will be taking flight in Pocatello this weekend. 

Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29, from 10 a.m. to noon, 色花堂app’s Department of Physics will host their Water Rocket Festival at Tydeman Park, N. 8th Avenue and E. Young Street. Each day, the first 100 youth, ages 16-years-old and younger will receive the materials needed to build a water rocket. From there, ISU students will explain the physics of a good rocket and help the young water rocket scientists create and launch their projectiles. The builder whose rocket travels the furthest will win their own water rocket launcher. 

“We encourage the whole family to stop by and learn about Newton's laws, mechanical energy, aerodynamics, and more in a fun, interactive way,” said Steve Shropshire, professor of physics at Idaho State.

The Water Rocket Festival is being held in conjunction with the Kiwanis Club of Pocatello’s 57th Annual Bing Hong Pancake Breakfast fundraiser. The first Water Rocket Festival was held in 2011. 

Previous editions of the Water Rocket Festival have seen winning rockets traveling more than 100 meters (328 feet).
