This multi-activity kit is chock full of materials! Kids can build rockets, make parachutes for the nose cones, and learn about propulsion, movement, and force.
Build and decorate a rocket from a cardboard tube, then test its launch-ability across a string using the air from a balloon.
Use the bubbly gas created by a mix of Alka-Seltzer and water to propel a rocket upward.
Make a parachute using a coffee filter and pipe cleaners to bring a rocket’s nose cone safely back to the ground.

Inspired in part by the Rocket-Building Maker Station and the Rocket Launcher Exhibit at our Mobile Museum pop-up events, this kit invites kids to explore some of the early-science concepts behind rocket ships. The materials and activities are reusable, too, making for hours or even days of fun! Here’s a short clip from our how-to video (link included with kit purchase).
