Force & Motion Bottle Rocket Launcher (Pictured right) Velocities in excess of 150 mph in the first 2 meters With a plastic soda bottle, a poster tube for a nose cone, and some cardboard you can create your own rocket. Then just place your rocket on the launcher, fill the bottle halfway with water, use a bicycle pump to pressurize it and off it flies. See how the shape of the rocket and fins determine how far and fast your rocket goes. The Bottle Rocket Launcher is an exciting introduction to space science for elementary school kids and a great tool for older students studying mechanics. Launcher and Base sold separately.

An amazingly simple but extremely effective way to demonstrate Newton’s third law Blow up the balloon and attach the hub to the blade assembly and this jet reaction copter is all set to soar! With fresh balloons, it will fly about 2 stories high. Newton’s third law has to be applied twice in order to explain the upward motion of the helicopter. The exhausted gas forces the fan to rotate, driving the air downward. The reaction of wind in turn provides the lifting force for the helicopter.
