Learn about the power of rockets and test out a rocket of your own. 

Replacing rocket fuel with puff-power, these straw rockets are a great way to experience how real rockets use propulsion to escape Earth’s atmosphere and blast into space. 

Design your own rocket, take a deep breath, and blow into the straw for blast-off! 

Do you notice different results when your rocket takes off from different angles?
