    How to Build a Water Bottle

    Rocket
    Science
    Fall 2006
    Materials
    • 2 Two-Liter Bottles
    • Newspaper (Ballast)
    • Foam Tray (Fins)
    • Paper (Nose Cone)
    • Tape
    • Scissors
    • Marker
    Parts of Rocket
    • Nose Cone- For
    aerodynamic effect
    • Ballast adds mass to
    rocket to increase
    stability.
    • Fins- For aerodynamic
    effect
    • Pressure vessel- source of
    rocket propulsion
    Rocket Body

    Step 1)
    Cut the bottom portion
    of one of the two liter
    bottles off.
    Green Bottles
    • It is against the rules
    to use a green bottle
    for the pressure vessel.
    • However you can use
    a green bottle for the
    top half.
    • Therefore if using a
    green bottle cut the
    bottom portion off.
    Rocket Body: Ballast

    Step 2)
    Roll up newspaper in balls and place in top half of two liter
    bottle.
    - You can use other items as ballast such as: Sand, Foam
    peanuts, etc.
    Rocket Body (cont.)
    Step 3)
    Push bottom half of two
    liter bottle upside down
    into top half – to keep
    ballast in place.

    Use small pieces of tape


    to secure bottom piece
    inside bottle.
    Rocket Body (cont.)

    Step 4)
    Place two liter bottle (pressure vessel) into top half. Try to
    make bottles straight. Use little pieces of tape to secure
    bottles.
    Materials for Fins
    • Milk or Juice bottle
    • Foam trays
    • Unused election signs
    (Only after election is
    over)
    • Do not use card board
    • Corrugated Plastic
    Fins

    Step 5)
    Use marker and draw fin patterns on foam trays.
    Fins (cont.)
    Step 6)
    Cut fins out.

    Note:
    (a) If leave sides of tray
    attached to fins – will
    allow rocket to spin
    in flight.
    Fins (cont.)
    Step 7)
    Attach fins to rocket
    using small pieces of
    tape.
    Nose Cone: Materials
    • You can use many
    materials to make a nose
    cone.
    • It is against the rules to
    have a point on your nose
    cone. The tip most be
    rounded. To create a
    rounded tip you can use an
    egg carton or a plastic egg
    shell.
    Nose Cone
    Step 8)
    Roll paper into a cone.
    Use tape to hold paper in
    place. Place plastic egg
    shell on the cone as tip.
    Use tape to fasten tip to
    cone.
    Nose Cone (cont.)
    Step 9)
    Fasten nose cone to body
    with tape.
    Measure

    Step 10)
    Measure parts of your rocket to make sure they fit rules and
    guidelines for SECME Water Bottle Rocket Competition.
    Decorating
    • You may decorate
    with stickers, your
    patch design, etc.
    • The bottom half of
    your rocket must
    remain clear of any
    paint or decoration.
    • Fins cannot extend
    pass bottom half.
    Tips
    • Lengthening the rocket adds stability
    • Experiment with different fin shapes
    • Try different body shapes
    • Try to make body smooth (no kinks with tape).
    • Do not use hot glue gun to fasten parts of your
    rocket together.
    • Use small pieces of tape (incase you mess up you
    can easily remove it).
    • Do not leave two liter bottles in hot car.
