STUDENTS WILL LEARN & EXPERIMENT WITH:

  • 🔸Rockets vs. Projectiles — compare how rockets generate thrust vs. how thrown objects rely on initial force only
  • 🔸Compressible vs. Incompressible Fluids — discover why air compresses, water doesn’t, and how that affects launch power
  • 🔸Forces on a Rocket — explore thrust, drag, weight, and stability
  • 🔸Rocket Stability & Fin Design — add fins or wings to improve straight‑line flight and reduce wobble
  • 🔸Engineering Design & Iteration — test different bottle shapes, nozzle sizes, and fin designs to improve distance and accuracy
  • 🔸Cause & Effect — observe how small design changes dramatically affect flight performance
  • 🔸Maker Mindset — use extra parts to invent catapults, trebuchets, battle‑top arenas, or your own creations

MORE REASONS YOU'LL LOVE THIS KIT:

  • 🔸Safe to Aim at Kids, and Fun Enough To Do It Again! — getting hit feels like being tapped with an empty soda bottle; the worst that happens is someone gets wet or the cat gets mad
  • 🔸No Special Setup — plug it onto a hose and launch
  • 🔸Fun Even When It’s Not Your Turn — try to catch the bottle instead
  • 🔸Gets Kids Just the Right Amount of Wet — no swimsuits required
  • 🔸Great for All Ages — even teens and adults get hooked
  • 🔸Portable & Travel‑Friendly — take it to family parties, BBQs, parks, or campsites
  • 🔸Uses Very Little Water — launches use quick bursts, not continuous flow, making it a conservation‑friendly outdoor activity

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

  • 🔸The Blaster — a pre‑assembled plastic firing mechanism that screws right onto a standard garden hose
  • 🔸3 Nozzles — these screw right onto a soda bottle
  • 🔸Easy‑To‑Follow Instructions — highly visual and easy to follow
  • 🔸Rocket‑Launching Tips Video — perfect for those who keep spraying themselves in the face or if bottles aren’t launching very far
  • 🔸Learning Videos & Activities — teaches the real science behind the rockets

NOT INCLUDED
