{"product_id":"9781556529603","title":"Soda-Pop Rockets: 20 Sensational Rockets to Make from Plastic Bottles","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnyone can recycle a plastic bottle by tossing it into a bin, but it takes a bit of skill to propel it into that bin from 500 feet away. Skill, and a copy of \u003ci\u003eSoda-Pop Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAuthor and engineer Paul Jarvis has designed 20 different easy-to-launch rockets that can be built from discarded plastic drink bottles. After learning how to construct and fly a basic model, readers will find out new ways to modify and improve their designs, including built-on fins, nosecones, and parachutes that enable a rocket to float safely back to earth. More complex designs include two-, three-, and five-bottle rockets, gliding rockets, long-tail rockets, cluster rockets, whistling rockets, ring-finned rockets, and a jumbo version made from a five-gallon water-cooler tank.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eClear, step-by-step instructions with full-color illustrations accompany each project, including how to build a launch pad, along with photographs of the author firing his creations into the sky. For those determined to find an educational benefit to their tinkering, these rockets are a clear demonstration of Newton’s Third Law. Soda-bottle rockets can even be used as science fair projects by budding engineers. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to build them, but who knows what career path you’ll take after you do?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chicago Review Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053721534704,"sku":"9781556529603","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781556529603_p0.jpg?v=1763754024","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781556529603","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
