Shooting Star and Blasting Rockets
Here’s some simple science to go with
“for every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.”
Copy
rockets or stars onto cardstock. Have the kids
color the star or rocket. Cut it out and tape it to
a coffee stir stick. Slip the stir stick with the
star/rocket attached into the end of the straw.
Blow the open end of the straw and the star/rocket
will fly out. If you are working on counting
backwards, make the rockets and count down before
they shoot them off. You can experiment with this
by using different paper which changes the weight
and therefore the distance the object flies. You
can also add some math by measuring how far the
star/rocket flew. You can also make a “moon” out of
paper and see if the kids can get their rocket to
land on the moon.
