I made these rockets with my boys for a school science fair project. They had a ton of fun launching them! With $10 roll of brown builder's paper you could probably make a hundred rockets. There's a complete tutorial here- Science Fair Air Rockets

WOW. Great project.
Nice project! Brought back memories of Yard Jarts.
There are no bad rocket projects. Good on you for turning your boys sights to the sky. And, showing them that their own hands can take them there.
Yeah! The rockets just need those cool metal tips! It would give the kids another use for their bicycle helmets. "Duck & cover!"Quote:

I'm a big believer in learning through hands on projects where my kids can apply their knowledge and maybe learn some maker skills along the way.Quote:

When the time came, the rockets launched out of the cake to the delight of all the other 10 year olds.
...yes this was done outside...
You married well.Quote:
