Which article are you evaluating?
Water rocket

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because I teach elementary science and this article relates to the classes that I teach. My preliminary impression of this article was that it would explain what a water rocket is, how to make one and the science behind it.

Evaluate the article
The lead paragraph does a good job of explaining what a water rocket is and how is operates based on Newton's Third Law. The paragraph also can some basic information on how they are made. The lead section has a table of contents to show what information is present in the article.

The article is very well written, easy to read and follows a logically progression. All of the content is relevant and seems up-to-date (it includes the most current world record). There are very few grammatical and spelling errors. This article is neutral because it is just explaining what a water rocket is, how to make them and the science behind them. It does not cover any equity gaps.

The strengths of this article are that it breaks down the process of water rockets very nicely. It is easy to follow and it has good pictures to help a reader understand the process. The article also talks about competitions and records for rocket launching.

One of the weaknesses of the article is that it is written with somewhat advanced science terminology and and a person would have to have quite a bit of science knowledge to understand the article.
