Product Overview

The 4M Water Rocket Kit turns a plastic bottle into a rocket, launched with nothing but water and air pressure from a bicycle pump (not included). Assembly includes the plastic rocket body, fins, fin support, and connectors, guided by detailed instructions. Once pumped up, the rocket soars up to 98 feet (30 meters), giving builders an outdoor physics demonstration they can see (and launch) for themselves.

  • Explores aerodynamics, pressure, and Newton's laws of motion through hands-on assembly and launch
  • Builds critical thinking and problem-solving as builders troubleshoot during construction
  • Launches up to 98 feet (30 meters) using just water, air, and a bicycle pump
  • Includes plastic rocket body, fins, fin support, and connectors, plus assembly instructions
  • Recommended for ages 14 and up; requires a bicycle pump, sold separately
WARNING:
CHOKING HAZARD
Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
