ROCKETS

Meteor Rocket Kit

Scientific Explorer

The baking soda and vinegar

formula starts a chemical reaction inside the patented

fueling module, creating enormous power that launches

the rocket up to 100'. Experiment by varying the pro-

portions of baking soda and vinegar or try balsamic

vinegar to see if it gives an extra “kick” to the fuel and

change the fuselage length to test flight characteristics.

Includes

plastic bottle, 3 balsa wood fin template, precut clear tubing, nose

cone, 10" foam tape, 2 red plastic film, silver duralar, fueling module, fin
