This activity provides students with a template that creates a rocket that can be launched from a soda straw. They are then challenged to modify the design to see how the changes impact the rocket performance.
Students will work together as a team to build an air-powered water rocket from a 2-liter soda bottle 120 minutes to find the optimal amount of water volume to air pressure for producing maximum thrust.
2 maj 2023 · Working in teams, students construct a simple bottle rocket from two-liter soft drink bottles and other materials. The rocket is powered by air pressure and water. This activity is part of the Rockets Educator Guide.
Rocket Activity Water Rocket Launcher. Objectives. Construct a launch platform for launching water rockets. Description. Water rockets, built from plastic soft drink bottles, are capable of flights greater than 100 m. The bottles are partially filled with water and pressurized with compressed air delivered by a hand bicycle pump or small ...
5 gru 2020 · Students are challenged to use two-liter plastic soda bottles to build water bottle rockets that travel the furthest distance or can hang in the air the longest (hang time). They follow the steps of the engineering design process as they create rockets using plastic bottles, paper or plastic sheet material for fins, and tape.
13 maj 2021 · Water rockets have been a source of entertainment and education for many years. They are usually made with an empty two-liter plastic soda bottle by adding water and pressurizing it with air for launching (like the image to the right). Soda companies began using plastic bottles in 1970.
