How to Make a Match Rocket: Does this Work

Here's some outdoor holiday fun, making match rockets.

In this "How To" video, I'm taking on another challenge to see "Does this Work?".

Well, it kind of worked. Maybe if I used the matches from a book instead of stick matches from a box, I' thinking it would have worked much better. I think the wood of the stick matches made it too heavy to fire off the launch pad.

Don't worry I'm not going to give up, I'll try it again with a different match and see how it works.

If anything it'll keep the kids, those old enough to light matches unsupervised that is, busy for a while getting it to fire.
