AIR ROCKETS

May 2024 - After finishing our STEM Rocket project using paper and straws, we moved to our 22nd STEAM project with launching rockets using an air-powered launcher that was built using PVC pipes and a sprinkler head.
Students built their paper rockets rolled with pipes. They are encouraged to use different fin types to build aerodynamic rockets. Finally, they personalized their rockets with cool names. The results were incredible as the rockets flew over 200 ft. in the air. Aaron's rocket even flew OVER the fence!!! However, there were rockets that disintegrated in mid-flight because they weren't built well.
After a class competition, Nguyen was the winner of our rocket challenge by beating everyone else's rocket, even Mr. Pham's.
​It was a lot of fun building and launching rockets.
