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. To get more information on resources in the toolkit, visit PITSCO Education.
