Pitsco Education Straw Rockets Getting Started Classroom Package, STEM Projects for Kids Ages 5 and Up, Rocketry Kit with 30 Kits and Launching Equipment

For a fun and easy activity to illustrate oodles of scientific principles, look no further than this introductory rocket project. The Straw Rocket Getting Started package and will help teach projectile motion, center of gravity, initial velocity, introductory aerodynamics, and more. This activity is a great way to teach students the principles of rocketry before going on to engine- or hydrogen-powered rockets. This pack includes enough tubes (Precision Straws), clay, and fin material for 30 students to make four rockets each, which enables them to experiment with different weights, straw lengths, and fin designs.

• Package includes the Straw Rockets Class Pack, Straw Rocket Launcher, and Straw Rockets Video DVD for teaching aerodynamics, introductory rocketry, and scientific concepts including force and motion, thrust, and center of gravity, with activities and a hands-on project to construct and launch model straw rockets
• Straw Rockets class pack contains enough straws, clay, and cardstock for 30 students to design and build four straw rockets each
• Pneumatic Straw Rocket Launcher includes adjustable trajectory angle and adjustable launch force for launching rockets
• Straw Rocket DVD provides information about building and launching straw rockets, and includes instructions about how to maintain the rocket launcher for a comprehensive straw rocket project
• Reinforces engineering, technology, and math concepts as students design and build model straw rockets, experimenting with different lengths, weights, and fin designs
