In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

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 work in pairs to conduct a series of experiments using a balloon, drinking straw, and paper.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 work in NASA teams to build balloon-powered rockets using identical parts and compete to launch the greatest number of paper clips to "space" (the ceiling).
