Air Rocket Engineering
by Kelly Coakley-Magid
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the phenomenon of paper/air pressure rocketry. Students will make a memorable and hands-on connection with the transfer of energy when they create and launch their rockets. Students will also experience the engineering design process while they work to improve their rockets with a specific goal in mind (such as reaching a higher altitude.)
