Straw Rockets

I wanted to quickly share a fun activity I did recently with some lower elementary students. My students were really interested rocketry and anything space-related. We talked briefly about the recent landing of a probe on a comet during the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. To learn more about it, you can visit their web page and see some really amazing photographs!

Then we started our activity with straw rockets. If your kids have good small-motor development, this is an appropriate and worthwhile activity. This was posted by kidsciencechallenge.com. Check it out, try it at home, and see what you think!
