Rocket Mice

This activity is a perfect chance to challenge that idea, shooting a rocket high into the air by rapidly squashing a plastic bottle launcher. You’ll never get this rocket into space – but some real rockets do go fast enough to prove the saying wrong. This activity requires a printer to use the template, but you could try tracing the template onto paper by holding paper up to a laptop screen
