    Discription

    This is a one day event to build and launch your own Air Bottle Rockets.  Using everyday materials we will build rockets that will blast off using air pressure.  There will be time in the morning to build the Bottle Rockets and you will be able to launch them in the morning and in the afternoon.  There will be 2 goals for the rockets:  One challenge will be for distance and the other for accuracy.

    Parents are encouraged to stay to help the students and watch the fun.

    There will be 2 launches:  One at 10:15 in the morning and another one at 12:30 in the
    afternoon.

    A lunch break will be given for students to eat and repair/alter their rocket.
