Um, not exactly, but it sure was a lot of fun with the bottle rockets. Not the combusion kind. Instead, you fill up a 2-liter bottle with water, slap some cork on to the end, and find a brave soul with a bike pump on hand. Kaboom! These things go 50-feet in to the air! No kidding!! This was all part of a physics enrichment program where we taught the students Newtonian physics … law of action/reaction stuff. I think the highlight for all the leads was seeing Daryl and others get drenched when pumping up the rockets. Ha!
