Once you have that in place, just take some normal scotch tape and start taping along the side to make sure that it's not going to come apart. So wrap it around and give it a little bit of give so that your pipe is moving pretty easily. Then you're going to wrap the first piece of paper around and you don't want it too tight because then when you launch your rocket it's not going to release it and it's going to get stuck.

The reason it's half-inch is because that's what's going to fit exactly into a 2-liter bottle. To assemble the rocket, you need a half-inch PVC pipe. "My name is Amanda Callahan, I'm a senior reservoir engineer at California Resources Corporation, and I'm going to be demonstrating a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory experiment on stomp rockets.

So let us take the lesson from here! This week's demonstration? How to build a stomp rocket with our friends at California Resources Corporation! That idea has now blossomed into an incredible partnership with scientists around Kern County! We will show a science experiment or demonstration with lessons geared toward students of all ages. Then it dawned on me: "Why don't I take over the science lesson for the day?" I get back into the classroom which is one of my favorite parts of this job, and I get to give our teachers a little bit of a break and help provide some curriculum. Hey Kern County! Welcome to Science Sundays: Experiments with Elaina Rusk.Īs we know, our teachers are working harder than ever, and I have been searching for a way to help them out. But this year, since Elaina can't be in a classroom due to COVID-19, she found a way to bring her passion for science straight to the schoolkids learning at home. During a typical school year, our 23ABC Chief Meteorologist makes dozens of appearances at Kern County schools to talk about environmental science and promote both stem education and literacy.
