Description

So they've been through the paper airplane phase and folded every variation they know of. Maybe it's time to move on to hovercrafts? With this Klutz book, children can build balloon-powered hot rods, hovercrafts, helicopters, and rockets, both building the models and discovering why they work. Young rocket scientists begin by blowing up balloons and watching them "blast off." Then they build the projects, attach balloon power, and let 'em rip. An activity or experiment using each model is included, as well as a similar project using household items (or even household trash), and examples of real-life models. The kit includes all of the parts you need to build the models, plus five balloons and two plastic mouthpieces. - Jess
