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).

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
