Science Fair Projects (Information Links)

69 Simple Science Fair Projects with Model Rockets: Aeronautics A book with lots of excellent rocketry projects.

http://www.ipl.org/youth/projectguide/ Guide to creating a good science fair project. Nothing on rockets, but it gives good basics.

R&D Projects - These may give you ideas for science fair projects of your own.

What project doesn't work - The most common science fair project tries to find the best fin shape that yields the highest altitude. This project is useless, and doesn't yield any valuable data. Find out why in this little report.
Piston Launchers

Get another 5% increase in altitude just by launching from a piston launcher! A piston launcher converts the hot exhaust gases from the rocket engine into high-pressure that kicks the rocket into the air at a faster velocity. This recycling of the exhaust gases is cool, and it gives your rocket a higher flight.

Actual Customer Comment:
"I also wanted to say that I have had a lot of fun using RockSim. It is really a great program at a reasonable price. I do a lot of scratch building and have found this to be a valuable tool in getting things right the first time. It is always more fun to have a safe stable flight that to guess what my rocket is going to head next. Keep up the great work." -- Gary Korosi
