Rocketry
Introduction
**Rocketry – Blast Off with Science! 🚀✨🧪**
Welcome to *Rocketry* – one of the most thrilling and action-packed Science Olympiad projects! In this hands-on challenge, students become young aerospace engineers as they design, build, and launch their very own rockets. It’s all about using science, math, and imagination to send a rocket soaring through the sky — and learning a ton along the way! Whether you're launching with straws, water, or air pressure, this project is all about reaching new heights!
About This Project
What Can Kids Learn from the “Rocketry” Project?
🚀 Forces of Flight: Explore thrust, drag, lift, and gravity — the four forces that govern how rockets fly.
🧪 Newton’s Laws in Action: See physics come alive as rockets launch, soar, and land.
📐 Design & Engineering: Learn how fins, nose cones, and body shape affect performance.
⏱️ Timing & Trajectory: Measure how long and how far your rocket flies — and how to make it better.
🔧 Hands-On Building: Use everyday materials to create a functioning rocket model.
🧠 Trial & Error: Experiment with different designs and fuels to optimize flight.
Why It’s a Blast:
Kids love launching things — and Rocketry lets them do it with purpose! From planning to liftoff, this project fuels curiosity and gives students the chance to test their skills in a safe and exciting way.
