These rockets use air pressure to launch your lightweight rocket skyward. Using simple materials, you‘ll not only be able to make your launcher in minutes, but also as many rockets as you want. The first time I flew these, they got stuck on the roof! So be prepared with a few extras just in case.
This experiment is a wonderful way to demonstrate Newton’s Laws of Motion as well as the concept that higher pressure always pushes.When you stomp on the rocket, the higher pressure pushes on the rocket with a force. The harder you stomp, the higher the rocket goes. If you were to hold your rocket in place as you stomp, you could feel the force with your hand.
