Up, Up and Away with Bottles
Source Institutions
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.
Achieving Orbit
Source Institutions
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
Rippin' Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in pairs to conduct a series of experiments using a balloon, drinking straw, and paper.
Rocket Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.
Foam Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.
Balloon Staging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.
Exploration Vehicles
Source Institutions
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).
Balloon Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.
