Help me give my students these rockets to help my students learn physics.

My Project
"To The Stars" is an exciting opportunity to engage students in learning the physics behind rocketing into space. These rockets are going to challenge them and help them problem solve as situations arise.
As we learn all the ins and outs of the physocs behind the rockets, we will also take the time to build the rockets.
My students attend an alternative school, so they do best with hands-on activities. I think this type of project will be perfect.
The culminating activity would be using the launcher to sent our rockets "To The Stars."
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
