How to Build a Water Bottle
Rocket
Science
Fall 2015
Materials
 2 Two-Liter Bottles
 Newspaper (Ballast)
 Foam Tray (Fins)
 Paper (Nose Cone)
 Tape
 Scissors
 Marker
Parts of Rocket
 Nose Cone- For
aerodynamic effect
 Ballast adds mass to
rocket to increase
stability.
 Fins- For aerodynamic
effect
 Pressure vessel- source of
rocket propulsion
Rocket Body
Step 1)
Cut the bottom portion
of one of the two liter
bottles off.
Green Bottles
 It is against the rules
to use a green bottle
for the pressure vessel.
 However you can use
a green bottle for the
top half.
 Therefore if using a
green bottle cut the
bottom portion off.
Rocket Body: Ballast
Step 2)
Roll up newspaper in balls and place in top half of two liter
bottle.
- You can use other items as ballast such as: Sand, Foam
peanuts, etc.
Rocket Body (cont.)
Step 3)
Push bottom half of two
liter bottle upside down
into top half  to keep
ballast in place.
Use small pieces of tape
to secure bottom piece
inside bottle.
Rocket Body (cont.)
Step 4)
Place two liter bottle (pressure vessel) into top half. Try to
make bottles straight. Use little pieces of tape to secure
bottles.
Materials for Fins
 Milk or Juice bottle
 Foam trays
 Unused election signs
(Only after election is
over)
 Do not use card board
 Corrugated Plastic
Fins
Step 5)
Use marker and draw fin patterns on foam trays.
Fins (cont.)
Step 6)
Cut fins out.
Note:
(a) If leave sides of tray
attached to fins  will
allow rocket to spin
in flight.
Fins (cont.)
Step 7)
Attach fins to rocket
using small pieces of
tape.
Nose Cone: Materials
 You can use many
materials to make a nose
cone.
 It is against the rules to
have a point on your nose
cone. The tip most be
rounded. To create a
rounded tip you can use an
egg carton or a plastic egg
shell.
Nose Cone
Step 8)
Roll paper into a cone.
Use tape to hold paper in
place. Place plastic egg
shell on the cone as tip.
Use tape to fasten tip to
cone.
Nose Cone (cont.)
Step 9)
Fasten nose cone to body
with tape.
Measure
Step 10)
Measure parts of your rocket to make sure they fit rules and
guidelines for SECME Water Bottle Rocket Competition.
Decorating
 You may decorate
with stickers, your
patch design, etc.
 The bottom half of
your rocket must
remain clear of any
paint or decoration.
 Fins cannot extend
pass bottom half.
Tips
 Lengthening the rocket adds stability
 Experiment with different fin shapes
 Try different body shapes
 Try to make body smooth (no kinks with tape).
 Do not use hot glue gun to fasten parts of your
rocket together.
 Use small pieces of tape (incase you mess up you
can easily remove it).
 Do not leave two liter bottles in hot car.
