Harness the power of air and H2O to get movin'! Put together water-boosted cars, jet-powered boats, a water gun, and even a spritz-spouting sprinkler. It's time to master the laws of physics and explore their uses in engineering! When you add air to your rocket, the air pressure builds up, then *boom* - release the clamp and watch the air and water mix shoot out, sending your rocket zooming in the opposite direction. From the ol' pipe organ to today's spacecraft, these are the same technologies powering your water rockets. Experiment and find out what sets air and water apart, and why your rocket needs both to go full speed.
