Image 4. Improvised rocket and timer
The timer has been built from a watering can containing liquid. The electrical circuit is broken with one connector floating on top of the liquid and the second connector at the base of the can. A hole is made near the base of the can to let the liquid flow out creating a time delay before the connectors meet, completing the electrical circuit and firing the rocket.
