Paper STEM Rockets
These paper rockets are easy to make! I have created a pattern for you, directions for assembling the rocket and a recording sheet. You will get easy to follow directions and specific directions for assembling the rocket.
STEM Challenge
The children will also have a recording sheet for testing the flight of the rocket. They will also be challenged to increase the flight of their rocket!

I know your students will enjoy learning with this STEM activity. I have used this activity with third through fifth graders.
Even though I encourage you to try to fly the rockets outside I have done this lesson in the classroom. I had the children do their test flights in small groups calling them by birthday months. You could use groups you have in place like colors or team names.
