Rachael,

to have actual rocket races I’d suggest that you use a balloon rockets that can have additional ‘rocket fuselage’ added to it. It is called ‘rocket launch’ in this module’s materials.

Children might make a rocket shape from junk art materials, but it would be unlikely to fly.

An older class could be challenged to create a heavy lifting rocket, using this guide from spaceweek.ie
