The Science Source Single Bottle-Rocket Launcher
The Single Bottle-Rocket Launcher provides students a hands-on experience studying force and aerodynamics by turning a plastic soda bottle into a water-propelled rocket. Students create custom designs and build their own rockets, testing variables such as water level, air pressure, and aerodynamic design choices such as fin placement. A paper astrolabe is included for measuring rocket altitude. This launcher is designed for use on soft turf where the launcher can be secured. Kit includes a rocket launcher, tubing, hardware, paper astrolabe, and instructions. Use for grades 5-9 (ages 10-15). Please note you will need a plastic soda bottle, and a bike pump to launch rocket (sold separately). Also available the Bottle Rocket Launch Pad which can be used if you are trying to launch from a hard surface such as a parking lot (ASIN B008AK669Q).Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
