This article describes how a teacher used straw rockets as an engineering design project. She gives connections to NGSS. Her NSTA Connections give detailed information of experiments students did before tackling the straw rockets challenge. The straw rockets were easy to make and directions are given. But the picture is a bit confusing in that it looks like a straw has been inserted into another straw which the reviewer does not think is in fact intended. Also, the article shows a rocket launcher but no details are given about it.
