Air-Powered Paper Model Rocket – DIY Kit

Description
The Air-Powered Paper Model Rocket DIY Kit allows students to safely explore the fundamentals of rocketry using compressed air as the propulsion source. By launching a lightweight paper rocket, students observe how air pressure and design affect motion, introducing core aerospace and physics concepts in an engaging, hands-on way.
Learning Objectives

  • Understand how air pressure can be used to produce motion

  • Learn the concept of action and reaction (Newton’s Third Law)

  • Identify the key parts of a rocket and their functions

  • Explore how stability, fins, and mass distribution affect flight

  • Develop experimental and observation skills through safe launches

Key Takeaways

  • Compressed air stores energy that is released during launch

  • Rocket motion follows Newton’s Third Law

  • Proper fin alignment improves flight stability

  • Lightweight materials are ideal for air-powered systems

  • Safe, non-combustion rockets are excellent for classroom learning
