Description
Blast off into hands-on STEM fun with the Smithsonian Rocket Science Kit. Kids can build and launch their own reusable rocket using just baking soda and vinegar—no fuel or batteries required. With a little experimenting, they'll discover how wind, surface, and launch angle affect height and direction.
Designed for repeated use, this lightweight rocket features a foam nose cone and sturdy fin assembly to help absorb the bumps of high-flying landings. It's an exciting way to explore basic principles of chemistry and physics while dreaming big like the engineers and scientists whose accomplishments are on display at the National Air and Space Museum.
Now in updated packaging—same hands-on STEM activities inside!
