3… 2… 1… Lift-off! These are the words you’ll soon be uttering when launching the Liquifly water powered rockets. This kit comes with the promise of fun, and all you need to add is water!
Liquifly works on the same principles as other rockets, with the energy coming as a result of a combination of air pressure and water. Pumping air into the bottle creates a highly pressured environment within the bottle which eventually forces the water out of the bottom at high speed. This is the action that gives the rocket the ability to fly and gives a perfect example of Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”.
This kit contains everything you need for an afternoon of fun launching rockets as high as you can. You can launch over and over until you’re sure you have achieved your best results. Once you have done this, use the included worksheet to help you calculate how high and fast your rockets are flying. Who said number crunching couldn’t be fun?

The way objects move depends on a variety of factors, including their size and shape
Foundation - ACSSU003
Objects are made of materials that have observable properties
Year 2 - ACSSU033
A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape
Year 4 - ACSSU074
Natural and processed materials have a range of physical properties that can influence their use
Year 4 - ACSSU076
Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance
Year 5 - ACSSU077
Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways
Year 7 - ACSSU117
Change to an object’s motion is caused by unbalanced forces, including Earth’s gravitational attraction, acting on the object
Year 8 - ACSSU155
Energy appears in different forms, including movement (kinetic energy), heat and potential energy, and energy transformations and transfers cause change within systems
