Those of you who attended the annual Roundtable BBQ last year (2014) might remember the paper tube rockets that we made and the pvc pipe rocket launcher that we used to send them up into the sky. Those of you who missed it, never fear; we're going to have a rocket launching experience at the March Roundtable!
The rockets and launcher are very easy to make. If I can make it, I guarantee you can make one too! This is the link to the instructions I used for the launcher: http://www.sciencetoymaker.org/airRocket/asmblLaunch.html. The link to the instructions for the rocket is also on that page, or you can go to: http://www.sciencetoymaker.org/airRocket/asmblLaunch.html. I actually used old issues of Scouting magazine to make my rockets (after removing useful articles first of course). I also used some fold top baggies that I bought on accident for the nosecones. After all, a Scout is Thrifty!
If you make a rocket launcher or rockets of any kind, I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments section!
