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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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).
