Kids find National Geographic Light-Up Sky Rockets to be wildly entertaining and stunningly easy to use. Just slip any one of the set's three foam-tipped, air-powered rockets onto the launch tube atop the three-legged launch base, stomp the foot pump, and whoosh! The rocket goes soaring through the air, covering distances of up to 100 feet! The angle of launch can be quickly and easily adjusted, altering the rocket's trajectory, height and distance and inspiring countless contests, games and experiments. Further aiding in this regard is the set's full-color Learning Guide, replete with cool science facts and fascinating mini-lessons on projectile physics and aerodynamics, not to mention a table in which to document launch-related data. Adding to the already considerable fun factor is a button on the cone of each rocket that activates an LED light inside, colorfully illuminating the rockets during exciting nighttime launches and making them very easy to locate after each flight.
