In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

Learners create a small explosion by collecting hydrogen and oxygen gas together and squeezing them into a flame.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this activity, learners design a scientific exploration mission to a planet or moon of their choice.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

Learners observe two joined glass tubes containing a conductive salt solution. Electrodes are passing an electric current through the water.

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex
