Hello,
My first post so I will give a little intro. I am a Science teacher in a Middle School. I would like to teach the students about the science behind water rockets. I myself am new to water rockets and am very anxious to start this rocketry part of my class. While I realize that many of the launch pads and supplies are custom built, because this is my first time I would like to start with commercial/already made launch pads and supplies. If ANY one can suggest any launch pads or rocket supplies that have worked well it would be a very helpful help to me. Anyone please feel free to make any comments or suggestions.
Thank you for your time and help.

True, and they seem to cater to schools with their package deals where you can buy in quantity and save.longpaddle wrote:There are also some water rocket manufactuers out there that you can buy the whole kit from if building it from scratch is not for you.
