Water. Air. Launch.
Students repurpose everyday plastic bottles into rockets powered by water and compressed air. Fill, pressurize, and launch—then analyze altitude, trajectory, and the physics behind every flight.
Water-and-Air Propulsion
Water provides mass and air provides thrust. Students experience Newton’s third law with every launch.
Sturdy Tripod Launch Pad
Three-leg base with ground stakes keeps the launcher stable on grass, dirt, or athletic fields.
Three-Finger Latch Release
Secure latch holds the bottle until the launch cord is pulled from twenty-five feet away for safe operation.
Reusable Rocket Bodies
Standard plastic bottles serve as rocket bodies. Add nose cones and fins, launch, recover, and launch again.
What Students Will Do
Students design water rockets, test variables, and analyze flight performance.
- Select a 1L or 2L plastic bottle as the rocket body
- Attach nose cone and fins for stability
- Set up AquaPort II tripod and secure with stakes
- Fill bottle with water (one-third full is a good starting point)
- Connect bicycle pump and pressurize
- Pull launch cord from safe distance
- Observe and estimate altitude
- Adjust water level and pressure for optimization
- Record data and compare results across launches

Why Teachers Love the AquaPort® II Water Rocket Launcher
Dramatic Launch Experience
Students watch bottles blast off with a spray of water. High engagement from the first launch.
Two-Variable Propulsion
Water level and air pressure create a two-factor experiment students can systematically optimize.
Sustainable Rocket Bodies
Standard plastic bottles become reusable rockets. No consumable engines or expensive refills.
Safe Launch Distance
Twenty-five-foot launch cord keeps students well clear of the launch pad during pressurization and release.
Wide Grade Span
Effective for elementary through high school. Younger students explore basic flight; older students run formal experiments.
Pitsco Exclusive
Only available from Pitsco Education. Purpose-built for classroom and competition use.
