AIR ROCKETS

May 17, 2023 - After finishing our STEM Rocket project using paper and straws, we moved up to launching rockets using an air-powered launcher that was built using PVC pipes and a sprinkler head.
Students built their paper rockets rolled with pipes instead of pencils like we did with straw rockets. They are encouraged to use different fin types to build aerodynamic rockets. Finally, they personalized their rockets with cool names. The results were incredible as the rockets flew over 200 ft. in the air. However, there were rockets that disintegrate in mid-flight because they weren't built well.
After a class competition, Mary was the winner of our rocket challenge by beating everyone else's rocket, even Mr. Pham's.
​It was a lot of fun building and launching rockets.
