Count-up and count-down number in English are difficult task for elementary school students, even in big cities in Indonesia. But this video recorded a simple yet fun math, language, and physics lesson for elementary school in remote area in Indonesia.

This teaching experiment happened in Sungai Lisai Village, Bengkulu, Indonesia on November 27th, 2011. This event non only attracted pupils. Adults are happily join this language, math, and physics class that evening. 
 
Usually, water rocket is use to learn physics. Since elementary school students heard nothing about Newton's Laws of Motion, we're combining the excitement of the blast with simple math and language learning. In the first step, pupils asked to count sequential up to ten in English. Then, they count the number down to one. The water-rocket lift-off only after they are  counting in the right way.
