Simple rockets are not only fun to launch, but teach kids the basics of fin design (how many fins are best?), projectile motion(does launch angle matter for furthest distance), and basic construction (can you really make fins from just tape itself?). Let your kid's imagination soar with this easy and fun project. [am4show have='p8;p9;p10;p37;p95;' guest_error='Guest error message' user_error='User error message' ] Materials:
  • straw
  • rubber band
  • skewer
  • scissors
  • tape
  What happens if you strap this to a paper airplane? [/am4show]

Have a question ?
