Straw Rocket Building Concepts

Hugo introduces a fun activity of launching straw rockets. He lists the materials needed and explains the concept of rockets. With the help of a grownup, Hugo designs and builds rockets, matching pairs and using tape to assemble them. Finally, he prepares the rockets for liftoff and launches them using air from his lungs, comparing it to real rockets that use fuel.
