Bottle Rocket Launcher

Turn a plastic soda bottle into a rocket propelled by water! Students learn about basic rocketry principles by varying the fin size and placement, adjusting the water level and air pressure, and measuring rocket altitude with the included paper astrolabe. For outdoor use - the launcher must be stuck into the ground, and aligned to the intended direction of the launch. Requires an ordinary bicycle pump (not included).
