Straw Rockets


  • Straws

  • Tape or glue dots

  • Plastic pipettes (or straws with a larger diameter than the other set of straws)

  • Markers, crayons, or colored pencils

  • Scissors

  • Free Rocket Template




Directions for Making Straw Rockets

1. Print out the rocket template (below). Colour the rockets and cut them out.


Glue the top and sides of the 2x rockets together, leaving enough room for the straw to go in. Once dry, put the straw in and blow


Extending the Straw Rockets Science Activity

  • How does the angle you launch your rocket affect the distance it travels? Try out different angles and record the results.

  • Can you design your own rockets to attach to the pipette or straw? Which designs work better?

  • Try adding another fin to your rocket with tape. How does it affect the flight of your rocket?
