Straw Rocket Engineering
by Debbie Everett
Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will:
Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff
Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans
Build and launch our rockets
Measure and record data about the flight
Collaborate and communicate effectively with others

Students discover how the physics of waves and sound connect to real-world biomedical challenges. Through hands-on simulations, spectrogram analysis, and a design challenge, they explore how engineers
Grades:
Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade
Students will dive into STEM, literacy, and math concepts through the timeless story of The Three Little Pigs! Students will explore materials by comparing the properties of straw, sticks, and bricks
Grades:
4th Grade, 5th Grade, 6th Grade
In this lesson, students will explore the forces of flight in rockets. They will construct a rocket using straws, clay, and index cards. Students will then use a launcher to launch their rockets and
