Activity Ideas
• Launch every rocket in class using the same angle and the same
distance of plunger pull. Record the distance each rocket travels.
Graph the class results.
• Create straws of different lengths, perhaps making them a half-inch
shorter with each rocket. Launch each rocket and record and graph
the results.
• Launch the same straw with the same plunger pull distance but
at different angles. Record the result for each angle and graph it.
Explain about trajectory and have students identify why each rocket
performed as it did.
• To add another math step, you can launch each rocket a specified
number of times and average the results of each rocket.
