Here is a fun and easy project for kids to learn about rockets and how they work. You can teach kids five and up how to build this project they will enjoy watching as the rocket launch and so will you . This experiment will show you how build up in pressure can launch a rocket.As we pump air through the water the pressure inside the bottle builds up until the force of the air pushing on the water is enough to push the cork out of the end of the bottle. The water rushes out of the bottle in one direction whilst the bottle pushes back in the other. This results in the bottle shooting upwards. Here is what you will need an empty plastic bottle cardboard made into a cone and 4 fins a cork a pump with a needle adapter water Instructions Push the needle adapter of the pump through the cork, it needs to go all the way through so you might have to trim the cork a little bit. Decorate the bottle with the cone and fins. Fill the bottle one quarter full of

The human digestive system is a complex series of organs and glands that processes food. In order to use the food we eat, our body has to break the food down into smaller molecules that it can process; it also has to excrete waste. Most of the digestive organs (like the stomach and intestines) are tube-like and contain the food as it makes its way through the body. The digestive system is essentially a long, twisting tube that runs from the mouth to the anus, plus a few other organs (like the liver and pancreas) that produce or store digestive chemicals. When you are teaching kids about the digestive system it should be fun that way they will always remember how their digestive system works.It is to read from a book but they have more fun with hands on experiments also kids love playing games ,and watching the videos so I have put together a collection http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/anatomy/digestive/ THIS SITE CONTAINS THE FULL INFORMATION AND WILL PRINT HUMAN
