Straw Rocket Launch
by Janae Jones
Students will construct a straw rocket launcher that utilizes air pressure as the force to push the rocket through the air. A STEM journal will guide them through planning an investigation. Students will develop a hypothesis, investigate it, collect data and analyze it. Students will demonstrate understanding of force and Newton's laws of motion through applying scientific principles in their investigation conclusion, creating a model, and developing a CER response.
