Buki Toys – Rocket Science
Prepare for blast-off with the exciting Buki Rocket Science kit! Designed for young scientists aged 8 years and older, this set allows children to build and launch their own rocket powered by a safe chemical reaction. Following the illustrated instructions, kids assemble the rocket components and then learn how to fuel it using common household ingredients like bicarbonate of soda and vinegar (or citric acid, check kit contents). This hands-on process provides a fun and engaging introduction to basic chemistry and the principles of propulsion.
Once fuelled and safely positioned outdoors on its launch pad (often integrated into the rocket base), the rocket can soar impressively high, potentially reaching heights of up to 15 metres! The Buki Rocket Science kit encourages experimentation (e.g., varying reactant amounts under supervision) and demonstrates Newton’s third law of motion in a dramatic way. It’s a fantastic outdoor activity that combines scientific learning with thrilling results, sparking curiosity about physics and chemistry.
