The Orbitron™ Classroom Kit Bundle transforms model rocket launches into structured, data-driven STEM investigations. Designed specifically for educational environments, this bundle provides everything educators need to guide students through authentic scientific inquiry, from forming hypotheses to analyzing measurable flight results.
A Complete Data-Driven Rocket Science System
This bundle is built around the idea that launches should generate data, not just excitement. Students use Orbitron™ rockets as a flight testing platform, collect altitude data with the included altimeter, and analyze results to understand how design choices impact performance. Every component supports repeatable experimentation and evidence-based learning.
High-Altitude Rockets Designed for Classroom Experiments
The Orbitron™ Bulk Pack includes twelve durable rockets featuring transparent payload bays that allow students to experiment with mass, sensors, and lightweight payloads. With projected altitudes up to 950 feet and compatibility with classroom-friendly engines, students can safely observe the effects of mass, thrust, and recovery systems across multiple launches.
Reliable Launches for Group Learning
The included Lifetime Launch System ensures safe, organized, and repeatable launches for large groups. Its raised platform improves visibility and access, while the long cable and audible continuity check help students confidently prepare for liftoff. Built for repeated use, this system supports everything from introductory launches to more advanced classroom investigations.
A Classroom-Friendly Build That Saves Time
The Orbitron™ rocket features a streamlined construction process that allows students to complete builds more quickly than more complex classroom models. With fewer assembly steps and a straightforward design, students can move efficiently from building to testing without sacrificing hands-on learning.
This shorter build time helps educators keep projects on schedule and maximize time spent on experimentation, data collection, and analysis. It makes the Orbitron™ an excellent choice for classes with limited periods, rotating lab schedules, or multi-week investigations where consistency and pacing are essential.
Measure, Record, and Analyze Real Flight Data
The Estes Altimeter turns every launch into a measurable scientific event. Students record altitude data from multiple flights, compare results, and identify patterns that support or challenge their hypotheses. This reinforces essential STEM skills such as data analysis, variable control, and experimental repetition.
Curriculum That Guides Students from Question to Conclusion
Six included lesson and unit plans provide structured pathways for inquiry-based learning. Topics include payload mass, altitude performance, parachute design, energy transfer, descent speed, and flight data sensing. Students apply Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning to defend conclusions using real data collected from their launches.
Built for Flexible, Multi-Week Instruction
The Orbitron™ Classroom Kit Bundle supports a wide range of instructional approaches, from short investigations to extended unit plans. Teachers can adapt activities for different grade levels, learning objectives, and timeframes, making this bundle a powerful long-term investment in hands-on STEM education.
