Llançament de coets de paper propulsats amb alumnes de primària

Abstract

In this paper we present a teaching activity carried out in 2013 and 2014, within the framework of the CROMA project with primary school students (Grades 3-6). In this teach-ing activity a compressed air rocket launcher was used to propel paper rockets built by 9 - 11 year-old pupils. Building and launching their own paper rockets allow them to analyze factors that affect the scope the rocket reaches. The paper describes the material used to build and launch the rockets, the structure of the teaching activity and its evaluation docu-mented from the enactments carried out.
