rocket

Here is an idea that I have used to teach many subjects–science,
space and transportation! Hands-on crafts are always a hit.

Crafts: Rocket Tube
For this craft, students will need a paper towel tube. They can
paint or decorate it however they want; it will be the main part of
their rocket. They will also need a conical shaped item for the
nose of the rocket. This can be construction paper, part of a
paper snow cone cup, or whatever else you can find around. Then,
students will also need construction paper for the bottom of the
rocket. You need to slit the bottom of the paper towel tube in
four places. Your students will slide two triangular pieces of
construction paper in the slits to form the base of the rocket.
Encourage students to write their names on the rockets or
distinguish it however they wish.
