3, 2, 1, ... Blast off!



Kia ora,

Have you ever seen a rocket before? Well have you ever seen a water rocket The aqua pod is a small orange launch pad that connects to a plastic bottle that launches into the air.


The first step is to fill the bottle about 1/3 full. Then turn the Aqua pod upside down and connect the bottle to the valve and push it down so it’s tight to the rubber seal.


Then you connect the pump to the metal valve a start pumping 8-12 pumps whith your foot.
Then when you finish pumping, unwind the string all the way out, pull the string and your bottle should shoot up into the air.


It will fly up because all the air you pumped into the bottle created pressure. But because the air will have to go on top of the water when the waters out it will make the bottle shoot up.                                          Click on the link to watch the video

  1. Kia ora Irelyn. Wow! The Water Rocket looks amazing and I was very shocked how it went so high. What makes me feel more shocked is that I've never seen a Water Rocket before.
