Rubber Rocket


Children make rockets using paper and launch them with a rubber band, exploring concepts of force, motion, and aerodynamics through playful experimentation.



Materials :
  • Colorful A4 Papers
  • Rubber
  • Scissors

Challenges:


  1. We're challenging the kids to make a rocket that goes super far using rubber.
  2. They get to decide how they want to launch it.
  3. They can design their own rockets, whether they look like airplanes or classic rockets.
  4. If a kid doesn't know how to start, we'll give them a model rocket to take apart and learn from. Then, they can use what they've learned to create their own rocket designs.

Questions to be asked:


  1. How far up do you think a rubber rocket can go?
  2. If you had to make sure the rocket goes to a specific height, what would you do?
  3. Why do you think rubber is used for rockets instead of string or thread?
