Balloon Rocket STEM Challenge (9‑Point Engineering Graph)
A hands‑on STEM challenge where learners build and test two different balloon rockets to explore force and motion. Students compare how far each rocket travels using the 9‑Point Engineering Graph, sketch their designs, and record how they built each version. This activity is low‑prep, highly engaging, and ideal for primary classrooms, homeschool settings, STEM centres, or makerspace stations.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• 3‑page STEM Challenge set: Cover Page, Instructions Page, Activity Page
• Full 9‑Point Engineering Graph for comparing two balloon rocket designs
• Clear, consistent directions designed for real classrooms
• Kid‑friendly layout that supports independent exploration
• Printable PDF (A4/Letter compatible)
TEACHER BENEFITS:
• Low‑prep activity using simple, affordable materials
• Consistent layout across all 9‑point engineering challenges
• Supports independent exploration and student‑led problem‑solving
• Flexible for whole‑class lessons, small‑group rotations, or STEM centres
• Ideal for quick engineering challenges or early finishers
LEARNING CONCEPTS:
• Engineering design process
• Planning, sketching, and comparing two designs
• Forces and motion (thrust, direction, friction)
• Testing and recording performance
• Early data collection and observation skills
HOW IT WORKS:
Students build two different balloon rockets, test how far each one travels along a string, and record their results using the 9‑Point Engineering Graph. They sketch each design, note how they built their rockets, and compare how the flight distance changed between the two trials. The challenge naturally scales: younger learners build simple rockets, while older learners experiment with balloon size, angle, and friction to improve performance.
PRINTING & PREP:
• Print pages single‑sided
• Provide simple materials such as balloons, straws, tape, and string
• Set up a clear space for launching and measuring distance
• Encourage students to sketch, label, and compare their two designs
• Adult supervision required for launching activities
AGE RANGE:
Suitable for ages 5–11 (Primary). Younger learners can participate with support.
PERFECT FOR:
• Classroom STEM centres
• Early finishers
• Makerspace stations
• Homeschool STEM time
• After‑school clubs
• Family STEM nights
FILE DETAILS:
• PDF format (non‑editable)
• Instant digital download

STEM Challenges is a fun way to incorporate science, technology and design into your classroom. This packet focuses on STEM challenges with a Back to School theme. Each activity in this book includes step by step instructions, large challenge card with instructions, six page STEM mini-journal and a one page quick STEM page.
The STEM, STEAM or Makerspace challenges are:
Apple Schoolhouse
Sculpture Sitting on Me Block
Playground Cardboard Challenge
Student Backpack
There are two different options for your students to use to journal their STEM challenges. The first is a mini-booklet that they can make which has a half of piece of paper to work on each section of the design process. This option gives the students more room to work on the design process.
The second option is a quick STEM printable you can use which saves paper, while giving students to develop their project using design methodology.
Each option has its own benefits and you can use which one suits your needs. You can also attach both options into a stem notebook if you have one available for each student.
All artwork is original and create by myself.
