Scientific Explorer Meteor Rocket Kit. Comes with
everything you need to build a 17in. rocket that flies up to 100ft. high! Easy
to assemble and powered by carbon dioxide gas that forms from the chemical
reaction between baking soda and vinegar, you can adjust the power of the your
chemical reaction for either young flyers or advanced rocket pilots. Includes
plastic bottles, three balsa wood pieces, fin template, pre-cut clear tubing,
nose cone, 10in (25.4cm) weather stripping, two pieces of red film, 1 piece of
silver duralar, fueling module, fin holder, and an instruction guide.
Recommended for children ages 9 and up. People have been fascinated
by rockets since the first ones were launched in China almost a thousand years
ago. Now your kids can observe the principles at work behind rocketry with the
Meteor Rocket Kit from Scientific Explorer. The kit contains everything
rocketeers need to build a rocket and send it shooting to heights of 100 feet.
Rather than using gunpowder or liquid fuel, the Meteor is powered by baking
soda and vinegar, so it's safe and can be launched again and again. A
specially designed fueling module lets kids experiment to find just the right
vinegar and soda mixture. The informative guide gives detailed instructions as
well as information on rockets, chemistry, and suggestions for experiments.
This Scientific Explorer kit is a 1999 Parents' Choice recommended toy. --Lisa

Children (10 and up) will get a great sense of accomplishment from building
this rocket out of the simple materials provided. "October Sky" thrills await
at launch time as vinegar and baking soda combine to make an explosive batch
of carbon dioxide to propel the rocket as high as 100 feet. Parents should be
involved to ensure that the younger rocket scientists understand the safety
risks and the procedures. A tricky process, but part of the fun is trying to
get it right. This teaches good science, and harks to simpler childhood
adventures. A 1999 Parents' Choice Recommendation. (Kay MacIntosh, Parents'
