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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

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