In this bottle rockets lesson, students learn the basic principles of rocketry and Newton’s Third Law through a hands-on activity. They design and construct rockets using plastic bottles, adding nose cones and fins to understand how these elements affect flight. After filling their rockets with water and using a pump to build pressure, they launch their rockets and observe the results. The lesson concludes with a discussion on how their designs influenced the rockets’ stability and flight path.
