Build and Test Air Rockets

Students will design and build a straw rocket that travels further than any of their classmates’ rockets. To do this, participants will need to look at the differences certain changes make.

The kit includes the launcher and enough materials to build 50 rockets! Find your favorite bike pump with a gauge and you’re ready to LAUNCH!

HINTS: look at nose cone shape and weight, body length, launch angle, fin number, and fin shape.

REMEMBER: it is important to note the changes that are made and their effects to find the most advantageous design.
