![]() ![]() We recommend going outside to launch your rocket because this next part can get messy.Place your completed rocket onto the bottom of your launch container (the side opposite of the cap).Cut your paper to make the body of your rocket about the same height as your launching container (film cannister or other object with a pop-off lid). The size of this rocket will depend on the container you are using. Follow the same procedure listed above to make a new rocket.Experiment with the stomping force, angle of the tube or a whole new rocket design.To reuse your stomp rocket launcher, blow air into your bottle, using a bike pump or just yourself.If possible, have a partner aim your rocket so you can focus on stomping. Put your rocket on the open end of the tubing, take aim and stomp on the bottle to launch your rocket. Give yourself plenty of space or go outside to launch your rocket.(Note: You can also use a tornado tube connector for an extra sturdy seal, but it is not necessary) Make sure your tubing is taped securely onto the bottle. We highly recommend using duct tape for this part to make a sturdier connection. To make your stomp rocket launcher, take the bottle cap off the bottle and tape one end of the plastic tubing to your bottle. ![]() (Note: We used about two feet of 7/8” plastic tubing, but you can use different sizes as long as you can tape it tightly to the bottle to create an air seal. Again, we want a tight fit around the tubing. Use the plastic tubing as your size model for the rocket body instead of the straw. Try using a full piece of paper for your rocket body. Experiment with the air amount, angle of the straw or even a whole new rocket design. How far did your rocket go? Feel free to try again.
