About This Item

Description

Harness the power of air and water to make things move! Learn about the laws of physics and their applications in real-world engineering. Many machines, from the oldest pipe organs to modern day rocket ships use the same technologies that power your water rockets. Experiment to test some of the differences between water and air, and learn why your rocket needs both to go fast. You'll also need a marshmallow, a piece of toasted bread, and a marble or die for one experiment, and plenty of water.
