This is a fantastic experiment. I have used it to reinforce a variety of different topics;
Estes, the company who make these rockets, have published schemes of work for using model rockets to teach Physics. They are available free from www.esteseducator.com. I have used this to consolidate Newton’s Third Law.
They also make nice practical investigations; How high did it go using Trig, designing your own recovery system for an egg, who can land closest to a target etc.
If you have any other ideas or comments regarding this reaction please email me and I will add them here.
