Rocket Races We completed our 4th session of our NASA Summer of Innovation program. This lesson plan is part of the Rockets Educator Guide<http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/Rockets.html> .
Rocket Races<http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/Rocket_Races.html> - Students construct balloon-powered racing cars using a foam tray and drinking straws. They then test the cars along a measured track on the floor. At the conclusion of the activity, students submit a detailed report on their racer design and how it performed in the trials.
