Air Rocket

The CPO Science Air Rocket brings excitement into your classroom or lab. Using the Timer II and Photogates, the Air Rocket’s speed and acceleration can be precisely measured. Challenge your students with comprehensive investigations covering concepts such as Newton’s Laws, moment of inertia, conservation of energy, conservation of momentum, gas laws, rotational motion, angular velocity, and several other concepts.

  • Creates an environment in which your students want to explore
  • Circular orbit makes classroom investigations accessible
  • Heavy-duty construction
  • Precise control of experimental variables
  • Easily conduct accurate and repeatable experiments
  • Hear a real sonic boom!

You have absolute control over all of the variables. A precision pressure gauge and bleeder valve allow you to set launch pressures up to 95 psi while a safety release valve prevents over pressurization. Use CPO Science Weights to add mass to the rocket. Two protractors allow exact placement of photogates in the rocket’s flight path. Even the aerodynamics of the rocket can be changed, a subject for further investigation!
