Finally, a pressure-based rocket experiment that works! Jr. scientist A got a stomp rocket for his birthday. The kit has a Styrofoam rocket that gets launched by stomping on an air-filled container, sending air out a tube, creating enough pressure to launch the rocket sitting on the tube. We got the rocket to go high, we got the rocket to go far - a good time was had by all. We also played with the launcher itself, pushing on the air-filled container and having Jr. scientist A feel the air that came whooshing out so he could see how it all worked. Hmm, I wonder what else we can launch...
