Jacob (with lots of help from Dad) built this fun paper pump rocket:
And it really works! The paper pneumatic launch pad pumps enough air to shoot the rocket about 10 feet.
If you decide to make it, Jacob wants you to remember to pull up on the bellows part so there's more air stored for the pump and launch. And when you print out the template, be sure to put card stock in your printer.

You're welcome! We'd love to know if you make your own rocket.
