2-Liter Bottle Rockets
Use recycled two liter bottles or water bottles to build and launch water rockets. This resource is available with rocket launcher and air compressor (if needed.) Kids really enjoy this fun activity. You can use it as a fun camp experience or you can really dig into it and teach the laws of physics and motions. Either way, it is a terrific opportunity to introduce youth to science.
Rockets Away for Hydro-rockets
CAUTION: Do not over inflate rockets, 75 psi maximum for 2 liter bottles! Rockets should not be launched multiple times.
