Bungee+Rockets

==Each year the fourth graders at Blueberry Hill School, transform simple white mailing tubes into spectacular projectiles. This is an extra credit project that provides students with a hands on engineering project. Students are given a couple of weeks to build the rockets which must meet specific guidelines. Not only do the students gain hands on experience with measuring and constructing, but their creativity abounds when they reveal the theme of their rocket. Some favorites of years past: "Got Milk", "Areosmith", "Life Is Good", "Crayon". While the goal for this activity is most certainly focused on the process, the winner(s) memorialize their winning distance and names by inscribing them on the wooden rocket launcher.== Go to the UPS Store and purchase a mailing tube that is 3 inches in diameter and 36 inches long.
