This Water Power science kit by Thames and Kosmos harnesses the powers of air and water to make things move. Build a water-rocket car, jet-propelled boat, water gun, and a sprinkler! Using the laws of physics to explain how water gives power, this kit is perfect for any curious little engineers.
When you pump air into your rocket, you increase the air pressure inside. Then when you release the clamp, watch out — the air and water mixture inside will shoot out, causing your rocket to zoom off in the opposite direction! Many machines, from the oldest pipe organs to modern day rocket ships use the same technologies that power your water rockets. Experiment to test some of the differences between water and air, and learn why your rocket needs both to go fast.
Build six different air-and-water powered models
Learn about the physics of action-reaction forces, rocket propulsion, nature's rockets, compressed air, and pneumatics
