What educators are saying
Description
Description:
Do you need a fun hands-on STEM challenge for the end of the school year? This Bottle Rocket Challenge is the perfect way to keep middle school students engaged during the last week of school. Students will work in groups to design a rocket with a 2-liter bottle and launch it outside with an Aquapod launcher. Students will work through the engineering design process to create their rocket and there is an option to have students connect their rocket design to physical science concepts (this is a great way to review physics concepts that you have taught throughout the school year). This is a 5-day challenge and involves launching the bottle rockets outside.

- Overview of Bottle Rocket Challenge
- PDF and editable PowerPoint file of the three-page student packet (two versions included)
