Straw Rockets

Straw Rocket Launcher with a straw rocket attached to it - there are vertical distance markers, and angle markers for the launcher. The Straw Rockets toolkit introduces the basics of physics and aerospace through simple rocket building. Youth build and design a rocket made from straw, and other included materials. They then make predictions and test their theories by launching their rocket.
