Bottle rockets are really easy don't worry! All you need is a 2 liter bottle, a cardboard box, a manilla folder or other thick paper, and strong tape or glue. Stand the bottle upside down. Roll up the manilla folder into a cone (not too tall) and attach it to the bottom of the bottle with the tape or glue. Cut out three identical triangular shaped pieces of the cardboard for your rocket's fins. Then glue the fins onto the sides of the rocket pointing towards your cone. Try to space the three fins as evenly as you can around the rocket. You can decorate it anyway you want with stickers, markers, paper, glitter glue, or anything else you can think of, but remember that anything extra will add weight and make your rocket less aerodynamic so it may not go as high. This is the best picture I can find: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). The fins on this particular rocket seem kind of small. You can make them longer if you want and I would suggest they be more triangular and not flat on the top so that the rocket is more aerodynamic. If you have any more questions about bottle rockets or don't understand something I said feel free to inbox me. Good luck!

My freshmen year we had to do projects, and I didnt get the bottle rocket...but search "bottle rocket project" and there will be tons of information on it because a lot of schools across the country do this project.

Try this, it looks like its useful:

The website was meant for a teacher, but just do the stuff that the student has to do.

Good luck !

I built a water bottle rocket last year. We also had to build ours from scratch.

Here are the rest of the results:

There were several I found by punching in bottle rockets + 2 litre bottles. Just in case this site isn't what you want. :)
