Students will build a rocket with a passenger compartment to protect their eggstronaut. The egg has to be contained inside the rocket and be protected during take off, flight, and landing.
Challenges in case rockets get built quickly:
Water rockets, built from plastic soft drink bottles, are capable of flights greater than 100 m. The bottles are partially filled with water and pressurized with compressed air delivered by a hand bicycle pump or small compressor. A special launch pad is required for holding the rocket while it is being pressurized. When the desired pressure is reached, the rocket is launched by releasing hold-down clamps. The instructions that follow explain how to construct the launcher and provides a list of needed materials. Only a few tools and simple construction techniques are required to construct a launch pad that can be used year after year.
