The rockets make a Great science project Or the Stem challenge with space themes, since they are quite easy to do, it can be personalized as you want and reused again and again. These easy rockets that children can also do are fun craft projects and can become a scientific research!
My personal favorite rocket is our Mini bottle rocket. Is Fast to configure and does not fly too hard, but it is still very impressive to see!
If you love Space science, Don’t forget to see my book This is the science of rocketWhich contains seventy scientific ideas with space theme for children!
Easy rocket children can do
This milk jug rocket is sometimes called rocket mouse. It is under preparation, free of disorder and fun for small people.
A rocket mouse is also a great First scientific activity to learn about forces!
Air rocket launcher
A Air rocket launcher It is easy to do. It requires only a two -liter plastic bottle, adhesive tape and a small PVC pipe segment.
The part of the rocket is made of rolled paper around the pipe, so it is a comfortable adjustment.
Simple floor rocket
Stew rockets They are always fun, and this is very easy to do! Put the rocket at the end and trample the bottle.
MINI Bottle rocket
My mini bottle rockets are my absolute favorite DIY rockets! You need a 500 ml bottle, straws or pallet sticks, a cork and some power for the rocket. This could be Alka Sethzer and Agua, an effervescent tablet of vitamin or even baking soda and vinegar.
Children can experiment to find the best combination of sodium bicarbonate and vinegar or an effervescent tablet and water to make their rocket vuele!
This can become an investigation by adding additional weight next to the rocket to see how that affects how far it flies up.
Straw rockets
Straw rockets are also free of disorderEasy to do and can be thematic in many different ways.
The paper cut of a rocket is linked to a shorter and wider straw than the experimenter blows down. The widest straw is sealed in the upper part, so when the air of the main straw hits it, the rocket flies!
An alternative to this design is to use a plastic. Bottle rocket launcher To push the air through the straw.
Film boat rockets: adult supervision is needed
These are another rocket very easy to do. You can decorate the Film container or leave it as it is. These are ready to launch immediately and can immediately be reused whenever you can find both pieces of the previous launch movie.
Film boat rockets It can be configured as a scientific investigation by adding additional weight to a rocket. Remember to maintain all other conditions the same (amount of water and effervescent vitamin table).
Bottle rocket with water feed – adult supervision is needed
TO Bottle rocket with water feed You need a little more preparation and shoot quickly and you will need adult help and a large empty space!
This type of rocket is perfect for class demonstration or a great space science competition if children design and build their rockets in teams and then an adult launches each.
What rocket will you try first?
More rockets can make children.
What do we do all day has a brilliant? Globe rocket craft.
This toilet paper rocket Mombrito It’s really nice too!
