In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

In this activity, learners build their own rockets from paper, coffee stirrers, and tape. Learners discover that when anything flies, air pressure is always involved.

Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.
