Now you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to have a blast!
You and your students can become successful
rocket scientists in just 2-3 hours! With a “crash” course in the fundamentals of
rocket science, you too could build a rocket from scratch that travels 400 ft
or more at 75psi.!
Students work together in cooperative
teams where each member has a specific task.
They plan, build and launch rockets while learning vital physics
concepts at the same time. This makes
the program ideal as both a team building exercise and a fun science enrichment
activity.
Rockets are constructed from 2-liter
bottles and launched using air pressure, so rockets can be tracked during flight. Two launches allow teams to compare variables
on material selection and construction and apply this data to the final
launch.
