Roto Rocket Starter Set
Description
Blast off into the world of aerospace with the Roto Rocket STEM Kit;
the ultimate beginner-friendly model rocket experience. Designed for
aspiring rocketeers ages 10 and up, this hands-on STEM activity promises
a dynamic learning experience while ensuring a smooth and thrilling
flight. After reaching dizzying heights, the rocket descends, spiraling
like a helicopter rotor, while the body of the rocket gently lands with a
parachute. There are five STEM activities included in the booklet.
Explore the forces of flight with a focus on lift. This kit includes two
different sets of helicopter recovery blades for tons of
experimentation. With the provided engines, fly to see how the different
blades impact the descent time of the rocket. Elevate learning, elevate
fun - launch your Roto Rocket today and take STEM education to new
heights!

5...4...3...2...1...0...LIFTOFF!!! Bring the excitement of Cape Canaveral to your own backyard with these fun and exciting rockets from Estes. Estes leads the world in model rocketry, combining the art of model-building with the thrill of liftoff. I have built several rockets, including the Supershot Starter Set, and though science didn't strike my fancy, rocketry did. The directions for assembly and liftoff were easy to follow; even though I had never previously dabbled in rocketry, I was able to build my rockets with little help, and soon proudly displayed my finished rocket, launcher, and launching pad. With the whole neighborhood looking on, I prepared for launch. Stepping back the required distance, everyone began the countdown. At blast-off, the rocket was engaged, soared up into the sky, and shrunk to a tiny dot we could hardly see. After apogee (the highest point in a rocket's flight), the parachute popped out, and the rocket floated gently down to our awaiting hands (we always try to catch them on their way down). Wow, I thought, everything went perfectly. Of course, everyone wanted to see it again. No problem. I just needed to replace the engine (maybe a bigger one this time), more recovery wadding, etc., and it was ready to launch again. Rocket kits are recommended for ages 10 and up, with adult supervision for children under 12.
