Abstract
Abstract: Although less known than water rockets, compressed air-driven rockets are simpler to build, they have a similar range and they do not present risks either on their handling nor on their launch because the energy needed to power them is obtained pressing a flexible container filled with air with the foot. The activities that can be carried out with these rockets can be adapted both for students of compulsory secondary education and for non-compulsory secondary education students and they allow multiple approaches, depending on the level of the students addressed. Therefore, air rockets are an excellent practical resource to promote the assimilation of the theoretical content from the Physics subject.
