Introduction: How to Make a Straw Rocket AWESOME
you will need a ruler, scissors, straws, bike pump, fins and hot glue gun
(sorry no pic of glue gun, pump and fins they come later)
Step 1: Step 1
you will need to cut your straws at 6 to 8 cm long
Step 2: Step 2
cut out fins like this so that there are 3 fins on the straw
you can make your own but we used fins courtisy by some other dude on instructables
Step 3: Step 3
fold and glue together the fins like so
Step 4: Step 4
put a tab of hot glue into the top of the straw and put the fins around just above the base
Step 5:
let the glue cool then put the bottom of the straw in the bike pump and give it a swift pump and it will shoot upwards
we have used a different pump (electric) which makes it go higher but we fiddled around for a while trying to make it higher.
many thanks who did something very similar (we made a bigger straw)
tell us what you think
