Each rover comes with&nbsp;assembly instructions and screwdriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop4-h.org\/collections\/aviation-and-space-exploration-curriculum\/products\/soda-bottle-rocket-launcher-kit\">Soda Bottle Rocket Launcher<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple and easy to construct, the Soda Bottle Launcher will be used to launch a rocket and aim to hit the target. Like a balloon, air pressurizes the bottle rocket. When stomped or jumped on, air escapes the bottle, providing the energy needed to propel the rocket.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/yakima\/4-h\/projects-programs\/engineering-technology\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tBack to Engineering and Technology Project Areas\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/yakima\/4-h\/projects-programs\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tBack to Projects and Programs\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n        <div id=\"cahnrs-back-to-top\" class=\"cahnrs-back-to-top\" hidden aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <a id=\"cahnrs-back-to-top-btn\" class=\"cahnrs-back-to-top__btn\" href=\"#product-top\" aria-label=\"Back to top\">\n                <span class=\"cahnrs-back-to-top__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2191<\/span>\n                <span class=\"cahnrs-back-to-top__label\">Back to top<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wanted to learn more about airplanes, rockets and how flight works?
