In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistance and gravity as their rockets come down. The activity guide has illustrated step-by-step instructions that let learners express their creativity in the design of their mice rockets. A helpful how-to video is also available.
