Typical Model Rocket Sequence
Model Rocketry
Model rockets combine math and physical science principles in a highly motivating
student activity. Estes model rockets are by far the most widely used student
rockets. The reason stems from the safety features built into the ignition system and
the emphasis on safety throughout the curriculum materials. From the low-cost,
solid-fuel engine to the Safety Code incorporated into all the flight activities, this
emphasis on safety will make rocketry enjoyable for both you and your students.
Models all feature:
• Lightweight construction of cardboard, plastic or balsa wood.
• Engine ignition using a launching system from a safe distance.
• A reverse engine recovery system to return the rocket safely to the ground to allow
multiple flights for each rocket.
• Decorative features to make the rockets look authentic.
• Different skill levels for you and your students.
• High-altitude flights.
• Durability.
