Join Waterworks Museum Staff for a fun look at pressure!

We’ll be taking a look at some of the science behind how pressure was used in the Waterworks’ steam engines and how pressure is used in Rocket Ships.

Then, we’ll be making Balloon Rockets.

This 30-40 minute workshop is recommended for kids ages 5-12.

Parental assistance recommended for younger participants.
