STEM Water Bottle Rockets
Build a Water Bottle Rocket and Launch it at Fall Fest!
The Brackett STEM committee would like to announce the annual launch of water bottle rockets in Robbins Farm Park. We will be using our rocket launchers!
You can make your own water bottle rocket ahead of time or bring your supplies and make it on site (instructions will be provided). Don’t forget to bring some water to use as fuel. We’ll also provide fuel and supplies for those that need it.
We also recommend you bring a bicycle or other helmet in case your rocket (or someone else’s) comes in fast on its way back to earth.
Questions? Email us at STEM@brackettpto.org.
Supplies to bring or use at home:
Roughly 1 liter Plastic Bottle (33 oz Polar or other Club Soda bottles work well)
1 Plastic folder (to make fins)
Duct tape or other very sticky, waterproof tape
5-10 pennies (to weight the nose)
Stickers or Markers to decorate your rocket (optional)
A half gallon or so of water to use as fuel
Check out these videos from a previous launch – from the perspective of a camera attached in various strategic places, including on a rocket itself!
