Editorial Review
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 Whipple
Reader Reviews
Our family has had a very good experience with the meteor rocket. It was given to our son as a birthday present and he's been having a great time with it. The directions for assembling the rocket were easy to follow and we didn't have any trouble putting it together. What I am most impressed by is how high the rocket flies with just baking soda and vinegar as fuel. It really does go up about 100 feet - to the great delight and amazement of our chiildren and all the assembled neighborhood kids. As a parent, I like the fact that the "fuel" is safe, and we can usually find a box of baking soda and some vinegar in the kitchen when the kids decide they want to do some rocket flying. There's a lot of educational value in this project. We've used the kit for some impromptu "science lessons" to explain and then demonstrate the power of chemical reactions. Everyone in our family thinks the rocket is awesome, and we highly recommend it.
