Informational materials in this kit include a detailed, subject-specific learning guide along with instructions that put scientific principles into practice. These informational materials have been developed to provide kids with interesting and engaging scientific facts, as well as to deepen their understanding of fundamental scientific principles. They give kids the tools they need to experience and better understand these principles through fun, hands-on educational activities. Additionally, these informational materials encourage further investigation into the broad variety of STEM fields and serve to inspire the next generation of scientists, researchers, and explorers.

To help communicate information and educate, the format of these STEAM-accredited informational materials includes the learning guide, instructions, rockets, and an adjustable rocket launcher. The learning guide explains how projectile physics relates to rocket propulsion. It also describes the effects of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics on the flight paths of projectiles. Instructions lead users through the rocket launcher set-up steps and provide different launch experiments and activities that allow users to see how the scientific principles taught in the learning guide affect trajectories and flight distance.
