This cool science kit lets you experience rocket launching in a hands-on way! Wonder how it works? When baking soda and vinegar are mixed in the rocket body, Carbon Dioxide gas is formed.When the rocket's body can no longer contain the volume of Carbon Dioxide produced, the gas accumulated will escape through the bottom of the rocket, and the resulting 'thrust' will send the rocket into the air - up to 50 feet! Included are 1 transparent rocket body, 3 rocket fins, 1 connecting ring, 1 launching station pad, 1 measuring spoon, and 1 booklet of fun rocket science with detailed launching instructions. A unique, out-of-this-world experimental kit that is sure to inspire all sorts of young scientists! Rocket is approximately 6" long. Ages 7 years and up.
