Rockets away! Kids have been building backyard rockets since
Sputnik, and at UC Berkeley's At Home Astronomy, families are
shown how and why to make rockets, astrolabs and other fun space
stuff with household items like balloons, string and straws.

Hands-on science experiments from the Center for Science
Education include Shadow Dance, an experiment with shadows and
light sources, and instructions on how to make a simple astrolab,
which kids can use to measure altitude and the height of objects
in the sky. Ten experiments include lists of what you need, what
you should know, simple illustrations and links to other web
sites to learn more.
