Water Rocket Videos

Insights Visual Productions, Inc. has
Water Rocket Videos for you!

Be a Rocket Scientist! All you need are pop bottles, a launch pad, a bicycle pump and one or more of these programs.

Let the experts, Dr. Ronald J. Bonnstetter and Jake Winemiller show you how to put on a wet and wild time at your school!

Dr. Bonnstetter (left) is a science methods instructor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.

Jake Winemiller is a physics instructor at Lincoln Southeast High School in Lincoln, Nebraska and, arguably, one of the world's leading experts in water rocketry.

Water Rockets I
(Introductory, for grades 3-12)

Everyone experimenting with water rockets should have this program! Topics include safety, building launch pads, investigating variables such as amount of water, pressure, launch angle and physical designs. See competitions for height, distance and survival of the "egg astronaut". (includes 115 page handbook)

Item # 701 (53minutes).................... $79.

Water Rockets II
(Intermediate, for grades 6-12)

The fun continues and the science becomes more exact. See how to use a video camera and a very unique approach to determine mass, velocity, and acceleration of the rockets. Also included are targeting, height and launch angle competitions as well as an exciting attempt to break the sound barrier! (includes 115 page handbook).

Item #702 (67 minutes)........... $79.

Water Rockets III
(Advanced, for grades 10-12)

Take it to the limit! Use rockets with different diameter nozzles. Find velocity and acceleration with a smart pulley computer interface. Measure air resistance and study Hooke's law with a simple accelerometer.

Also, see many unique vehicles such as the five engine rocket (left), a night launch with glow sticks, and many other design variations. Use this video to spark the imaginative and creative ability in your students! (includes 115 page handbook)

Item #703 (49minutes).................. $79.
