Sir Isaac Newton was one of the most famous scientists that ever lived. He was interested in how things move, the behaviour of light, the science of forces and the nature of gravity. He discovered **[|3 Laws of Motion]** ||

 * [|third law of motion]**:

"For every action there is an equal andopposite reaction"

This means that If you push something one way, it always pushes back. ||

The Action
In your bottle rocket the **action** is the rocket pushing water downwards.

The Reaction
The **reaction** is the water pushing the rocket upwards so hard that it over comes gravity and flies. || =How does it work?= Pumping air into the bottle increases its pressure || Eventually the bung is pushed outallowing the water to escape ||

The air pushes the water downwhich means the water pushes it back. This force is then transferred to the rocket. ||

Eventually the rocket runs out of water and just coasts. || Source: www.thenakedscientists.com =Frequently Asked Questions...=
