Building and Launching Model Rockets

Ryan from the Discovery Center Museum demonstrates how to make rockets at home using simple materials like paper, index cards, and a 2-liter bottle. The tutorial covers creating the rocket body, nose cone, and fins, emphasizing the importance of using tape to secure parts and ensure stability. Viewers are encouraged to experiment with different fin configurations and share their creations online. The video concludes with an invitation to explore more science activities and engage with the museum's online community.
